Tom did indeed make it home yesterday.  We were able to get discharged in plenty of time for Tom to come home and take a nice long nap.  Tom woke up and felt like he could go to Ben/Joshua’s Christmas program.  Noah was so excited to find dad home when he go home from school.  An added bonus, Tom’s parents had planned on coming in town for the program, but enjoyed Tom’s homecoming too.

Tom was able to sleep through the night.  I on the other hand I did not.  I kept waking up and checking on Tom.  I am suffering today with upper back tension and a nice headache.  I think I’m starting to come down from weeks of strain, and the weather changes don’t help any. The house is quiet now, and I did get a nap in too.  Tom has slept most of the day so far, but feels human again.  This morning I gave him his long overdue haircut.  After a shower and breakfast, Tom took a place on the couch and went to sleep.  He has his work laptop by him, with thoughts of logging on.  He is very driven to get back to work.

Therapy will begin next week, and will meet three times a week through January.  From his therapy yesterday, there is homework to do due Tuesday.  We’ll all help him with that.  Looking forward to Nathaniel coming home later today for break.  His roommate Aidan is doing good after his accident.

I cannot thank each of you enough for all the continued support.  Blessings have diffidently been given to us and with God and your support all is going to be good.  A miracle to say the least, at where we were just a few weeks ago.  The road to recovery is still on the up hill climb, but I can see the top.  Many ask how I am doing, I’ve thought about that a lot.  No, this isn’t fun, but I pray daily (more than once), realize that I just have to keep moving forward, I’ve been given so many great words of advice- I go back to those words for strength. I also know that God isn’t leaving me, but guiding me the whole way. I thank you and him … Blessings to all of you…….
