On Friday at the wound clinic Josh talked them into letting him have a break from the wound vac. He still has a hole but it is not to deep anymore and it was not draining to much, so they said they will give it a week and see how he is doing. He is happy to be free from the wound vac. With the wound vac off he has to have his dressing changed every day. So they taught me how to change it......not the funnest thing I have ever done. I have to poke some mesalt, a thin strip of material down in the hole. Kinda creepy, still we hope to keep the wound vac off. Josh had a good weekend, we were busy with Christmas parties and he had a good time. He talked so much on Friday night that his voice was hoarse the next morning. He got pretty worn out and by Sunday afternoon he spent most of it sleeping.
Today starts another round of appointments, he has 3 today. He will start his speech therapy tomorrow, which will help with the brain injury. They call it speech therapy but they spend time working with his brain. It is a full time job keeping up with his appointments, it will be nice to have a break the week after Christmas. We will be going to Salt Lake to see family for the holidays. Josh's sister Kasey has reserved the church on that Tuesday for family and friends to come see him. I will post the details as soon as I get them. This month is flying by, we have yet to put up the tree, maybe tonight. Christmas will be here before we know it! Well Josh will be done with OT here in a minute and then we will have a break for lunch before our next appointment so I better start looking through our coupons for lunch. I hope that everyone is enjoying this special time of year, love to all, Denise
