I just got home from packing up most of Mike’s belongings because at 10:00 AM tomorrow morning the discharge process will begin! I don’t know that either one of us will sleep a wink tonight because we’re so ecstatic. Now that he’s off the walker, there really isn’t much we need to do to prep […]

T+14 Days After Mike’s Brain Surgery
Y’all notice anything missing??? That’s right…NO WALKER! We just took a couple of laps around the building! I couldn’t be more excited to see him walking on his own. In other news…guess who’s busting out and coming HOME Saturday?!?!? The big guy is officially coming home the day after tomorrow. I know 3 little fluffer […]
T+13 Days After Mike’s Brain Surgery
Today Mike had OT and PT all day until 5:00. So I took the opportunity to take a much needed rest day and just zoned out for a while. I had some books and some Netflix that I desperately needed to get caught up on (I wasn’t crying…or screaming…much). Yesterday was a mixed bag. Mike […]
T+12 Days After Mike’s Brain Surgery

We brought little Maya, who barked at anyone […]
T+9 Days After Mike’s Brain Surgery
Today was Mike’s first full day of rehab, and he had both occupational therapy and physical therapy. He was done by noon! One of their goals this week is to start walking without the walker. The facility doctor stopped by and said he was doing so well that he didn’t think Mike would be there […]
T+8 Days After Mike’s Brain Surgery
