T+11 Days After Mike’s Brain Surgery

Yesterday was Easter! It was a gorgeous day. Our friend Mandy dropped of a delicious roast and a giant pan of scrumptious mac n cheese (she knows me so well!), so we had a wonderful Easter dinner, complete with rolls and strawberry shortcake, courtesy of my mom.


We brought little Maya, who barked at anyone that dared move, but she also lifted Mike’s spirits and got to sneak in some snugs with Dad.


Mike also got a surprise visit from one of his friends from SLED, which was so much fun. Waz has an incredible knack for humor, and before we knew it, we were caught in fits of laughter. His stories kept us entertained for the better part of an hour. By the end of his visit, my stomach ached from all the laughing, but laughter truly is the best medicine.


Today Mike is booked with therapy from 9:30 until 3:00, with a little bit of a break for lunch. He’s hoping to meet with his case manager today as well to work on his plan for discharge and transition to outpatient therapy at home. He is SOOOOO ready to come home and see his pups, and I KNOW that once he’s here he will improve leaps and bounds.


Still no word from Dr. Engh about pathology results. He has an appointment tomorrow to get his stitches removed; hoping and praying to have some answers by then. Praying that the pathology results show no residuals and that it’s not one that is likely to recur or spread.

    It’s great to see you doing so well after surgery! We will continue to pray for healing and a speedy recovery!
    BTW, it’s crazy that the hospital hired the old Citadel barber, Rampey. Looks like he’s still doing a great job on your haircuts! Lol!
