Home Sweet Home

It has been a great week, very good for Josh. He has been so happy spending time with family and friends. It was great to spend the week with my mom at her house. Josh spent time swapping hospital stories with my step dad, it was good for him to talk with someone who understands what he is going through. As great of a week as it was we were both so happy to get back home. We have one more day to enjoy before the week of appointments starts back up. It has been nice to have a break, but Josh has actually been more sore than when he is doing his therapies. I think moving around less made it harder for him. He was telling me on the way home today that he gets what the neuro doc was saying about wanting to make sure that he is ready when he goes back to work. He went out in the shop before we left and tried to do some airbrushing and it was harder for him than he thought it would be. I don't think he understood until he tried it out for himself. He will get there he just needs time for his brain to heal. I can see improvements regularly, but I can really see how it affects him when he is tired, just by how he talks and what he says. He is doing really well with his wound, I can't wait to go back to the wound clinic this week, I hope I have been doing a good job taking care of it. I feel like it is getting smaller but I am not sure, they will measure it to see. It will be so nice when it is all healed up, less appointments and less me having to jab him with the little stick thing. Moving forward every day!
I want to thank everyone who has made this a great holiday season for us. I am so looking forward to a new year. It has been a difficult year with Asher having his appendix rupture and his surgery and hospital stay and then with Josh's ordeal. I am blessed that they are both still here, I thank God that they are. I wish everyone a Happy New Year, much love, Denise
