6/28/10 - Day 56

Steven had a great week. He had therapy on Wednesday and Thursday. He is doing very well. His speech therapist did not come in so he missed that.

He has been walking on a daily basis...if we can drag him out of the house. He still does not care to do much. We have gotten him to go to a few stores. He is actually out buying a CD with Cindy right now. I tried to get him to go to my nephew, Bryans graduation on Thursday and Catherine's graduation party on Sunday, but he wouldn't go to either. Too many people I think.

He had 2 doctors appointments...one last week and one this morning. I know I promised to post on Sunday nights, however, I wanted to wait until we saw the doctor this morning, so that's why I waited.

Dr. Wang (Rehab) said he is doing well. He changed some the dosage of one of his meds. He also got two steroid shots in the back of his neck to help with the headaches and earaches. It seemed to help the headaches, but not the ear. He still says his ear is plugged.

Steven saw Dr. Bennett (Neurosurgeon-my hero)today. He didn't do much really. Didn't even look at the incision...which I thought was strange...but he said he is doing great. He strongly encouraged him to lead a healthy lifestyle. No drinking, smoking, drugs, etc. He has to stay as healthy as he can! He did give in to 1 cup of caffeinated coffee a day...I think Steven feels like he won a battle...lol.

Dr. Bennett also encourage Steven to enroll in college!!! OMG could I have imagined 56 days ago that we would be talking about college??? No way. He said to enroll in one class for the first semester and to try to do the best he can. If he does well, to then take 2 classes for the following semester...and so on.

Well...that's all I can remember for now. If I think of anything else, I will post it later.

It's been a great week!

Thanks for the prayers!!! Love ya <3

PS...the new picture is from Father's Day! Doesn't he look awesome...lol
