Josh is feeling a little better today, his energy level has been up. He has spent some time in the wound care clinic. He has an abscess inside the wound on his leg, they are trying to get rid of it with the wound vac, if it doesnt' work he will have to have surgery. When I went in today he was trying to refuse his PT, I told him he needed to get up and do it. His attitude was not very good at the beginning, he had a lot of complaining going on. He told the therapist that he was killing him and the therapist said no laying in that bed is what will kill you. We had a good talking to him and I told him that I need him home but that he can't come home until he is stronger. He did much better with the rest of his therapy after that. He is getting a lot stronger but he still has a long way to go.
I heard a story today about person who had a friend in the hospital and they had to be there for 15 days. The person took a gift for every day that their friend was there. I think that would be good for Josh to have a little something to look forward to, just something small. I want to involve the kids and have them write notes to put in for him to read each day. I want him to be positive and have motivation to do the work he needs to get home. I will be going in from now on to help him have a good attitude for his PT in the afternoons. If he works hard he will be able to come home at the end of the month. We need him home! Thanks to all my friends who have been there for me, I love you all, Denise
