Today is the DAY y’all! Today is the day we’ve been training for the last 2+ weeks. Mike came home today!
They sent him off to Ride the Wind by Poison:
And the girls were absolutely DELIGHTED to have him home!!!!
The past few weeks have been a whirlwind – I feel like we’ve been living in topsy turvy world. Now that he’s home, I KNOW that he will progress even more rapidly. Now we begin the real work to get him back to normal and back on the bike as quickly (and safely) as possible.
We continue to pray for great results from pathology, and we are beyond grateful for the miracles that have already happened since the initial onset of symptoms on March 17. Thankful that he was with quick-thinking folks at that conference in Nashville who were on top of calling 911. Thankful for the EMTs who evaluated him and said, “yeah, we still recommend we take him to the ER.” Thankful that Cole and I also happened to be in Nashville that week. Thankful for those seizures that tipped off the medical professionals that there was something deeper to look for. Thankful that the best dang neurosurgeon in the country lives here in Lexington. Thankful that 3 weeks after discovering this awful tumor that it was removed. Thankful for all the support and love from our friends and family. Thankful for how quickly he’s bouncing back – in 16 days he’s already off the walker, completely ambulatory, regaining more and more feeling in his left hand, and he’s HOME. So thankful he’s home!
