WE SPRUNG HIM EARLY!!!


We were able to bring Craig home from the hospital today. We didn't tell the kids so it was a fun surprise. The doctor did tell Craig that he has to wear the boot on his left leg and this time he listened. He also told him no outside bike riding until 2011. Craig is actually taking that news much better then I thought he would!

This morning at 4:30 when Craig couldn't sleep he decided to shave his beard off. Nothing left for any of his pilot friends to be jealous of. Tonight when we got home we also arranged a haircut. He no longer looks like Grizzly Adams.

They did some end of rehab testing. On the balance test at the beginning of rehab he was 4/28. Today he was 28/28. He tested on the slow side with his reflexes but has been showing improvement since he was first there. We have to take him to see a neuropsychologist soon so he can be retested on a regular basis. Once he reaches a set level on his reflexes he will be able to drive a car again. Flying a plane comes a while after that.

We are VERY glad to have Craig home. It's amazing how much better our kids are just with him in the house. It is going to be really hard to keep Craig occupied. He has already been out walking around the neighborhood and trying to work on things around the house. I think I am more worn out trying to keep up with him then he is!

  2. I know what is is with the boot on. You think you can get away with anything you want, but it will take longer to heal if you abuse it. Slow down and let the healing process take its course. Glad to see you up and about. lol Uncle Bob
