2 more days

Home inspection went really well, Josh did amazing. They had him do things in each room. Sit in his spot in the living room, get down on the floor and back up, lay in his bed, get things out of the bottom drawer in the fridge, get in and out of the shower, and he even went out to the shop! The only thing that we need to do is remove or get a new rug in the kitchen because it slips, and they are going to order him a shower chair. That's it! Who new that the showers already having handles and the showers having a removable sprayer would come in handy, thanks to the previous owner. Josh told me later that it was good to be home and that he wanted to stay here. His PT said that they would like to get a full day of therapy in on Tuesday and Wednesday. He will get a new wound vac on Wednesday, and then he will be ready to come home. Yay!

It is time, we are both ready for the next phase. Each time we have taken the next step it has been an adjustment for Josh and I don't expect this to be any different. I know he will get tired fast and that he may get overwhelmed with things at first. I told him he needs to tell me if he is needing a break or some quiet so that I can help him. He will do fine and in time he will be back to doing the things that he wants to do. I was told that he is not allowed to use power tools just yet though, and if he does want to go out to the shop he needs someone with him. One of the appointments in the near future will be to see the neuro doc for a more thorough evaluation, it is about a 4 hour test. He will do it now and again in one year to see what has changed. Most of what he has trouble with now is memory and problem solving, but he has improved in all areas already and I am sure that will continue. Even though it seems like forever, he has really progressed fast. We are super excited that he will be home soon! Thanks to my kids for helping me get the house ready and to everyone who's prayers have given Josh the strength he needs to get home. Much love, Denise
