LOLOLOL I just got in the house from work and checked my messages and had to laugh wondering if you beat me to it again.
btw Omaha thanks man!
Mom's upadate
Emileigh and I are getting ready to go up to the hospital - I made dinner for the 3 of us. Tonight is my night to spend the night, Bob stayed yesterday afternoon and last night watching football with Matt. We do have a great system by taking turns and making & bringing up dinner for each other.
I thought I should let everyone know the great news!
Let me start 1st with...Matt is coming home on Friday!!!! Now, let me tell you everything that has to be in place for Matt to come home. For the last week we have been told all of the things that we will need to take care of Matt at home. Pretty much the same equipment that we use at the hospital. Saturday - Aunt Darcy came and stayed with Matt during the day and PaPa and Nonnie came in the afternoon into the evening while Bob and I moved the dining room furniture down stairs. Aunt Deb, Uncle Doug and Sammi came over to help.
We are ready for a special 'reclining air bed' a 'hoyer lift' 2 wheel chairs - Matt has been using a motorized chair and a regular chair. He will need a reclining shower chair. All of this will be delivered this week. Our issue is ramps for the stairs to get Matt into the house and up to the dining room. I know someone sent me an email a while back with info on a place to call - I cannot find the information. If any of you have ideas and or suggestions we welcome them. We are considering making them.
Now...for some totally, wonderfully awesome news! Matt has said more words - 'oh mom' - 'emileigh' and kind of can say 'nonnie'! He is moving his head side to side up and down and can lift it! His head, neck and shoulder areas are getting stronger daily. Matt has started to move his right & left toes. With the therapists he can type on the computer with a mouse.
We appreciate your continued prayers and positive thoughts - and would please ask, to keep them coming? Pray that the homecoming and transition go well for our entire family.
