Mike's discharge plans

I am sorry i have missed a couple of days of posting. It has been a bit crazy for the last couple of days. Last night mike got moved from ICU to a reg room on the neurosurgery floor. He has not slept well while in the hospitawhich has been a problem and has increased Mikes anxiety. But they are taking care of home really well. Now for the big news..... Well you are all not going to believe this.....Mike is doing so well that the doctors and physical therapists are discharging Mike home for care by me and in-home PT and OT. So his rehab isn't as we had been informed and he is really doing remarkably well. Yeah, Mike! Hopefully his recovery will speed up while at home because he can relax better. He had a lot of great help here at UCLA. He is seeing remarkably well. Today he has been using his iPhone and sending texts and making phone call. He has walked and is doing more things by himself now. It's funny how they really prepare you for the worst and wow, we got the complete opposite. Mike going home after a week instead of 3 or 4 months. So now life changes again and we will be traveling home tomorrow. I have shared all of your Facebook comments, and he has appreciated them all. Thank you!

  3. That's awesome news! It took a few months before Tim could come home and that was in a wheelchair. I'm glad to hear that everything is going well.
