Cravings

I went in early this morning to spend some time with Josh. It was funny, I told him what time I would be there and he watched the clock thinking I might not be coming and I still had five minutes when I got there. He was in a good mood today. He had an appointment with the neuro doctors assistant. She did some testing with him and said he did really well, she said that within a year he would be back to what he was before as far as his brain goes. He did really well during PT also, he knows when he does something wrong and can correct it most the time. They want him to have certain body mechanics when he moves so he can learn good habits. He asked the therapist if there was anything that he can do on the weekends when he's not there, he said he would put together a list of things he can do. Josh said he didn't want to just sit there and rust. He is doing so good, he strength was better today and he really worked hard.

It has been a busy day! I went in to town three times today, twice to see Josh and once to the gym. When I went back this afternoon to see Josh I gave him a hair cut, it looks nice and will be easier for him to wash and take care of. Then after dinner I cut all of the boys hair, they look so cute. I am also working on cleaning out my garage so that I can get my shelves out of Josh's garage before he gets out. He will need the room to set up his drums, he talks about it being good therapy for him. I worry about him walking out to his shop in the rocks, I wish there was cement across that part of the driveway. I know there are going to be times he will need to go out and spend some time out there doing what ever it is he does. He will be used to a quiet hospital room and our house can get pretty noisy at times. I am just so glad he is motivated! He said he was craving Panda Express today so my dad is going to take him dinner tomorrow night from Panda. He also text me this evening and said he wants roll out cookies, I said I would get some to him soon. I am happy that his appetite is coming back. I just want to thank everyone for the continued support and love, love to all, Denise
