Things are moving even quicker...looks like Steven will be coming home Monday or Tuesday! As Bessy says...I think he's going to give us a run for our money.
He was in a very good mood today even with his meds being lowered. Quite the entertainer again. He seemed a little bit more confused today than yesterday. Not terribly worse. Maybe it has to do with the reduction in the meds.
We did get a queen size bed for him, so one issue taken care of. I spoke with the social worker at ECMC and it she will set up the outpatient therapy for us. We plan on going to DeGraff rehab. ECMC said of course they would want us to go there because they are the best, however, they did say they think Degraff would be the best 2nd choice. It is so much closer to our home it just makes sense.
I was finally able to take him off the floor today. I took him downstairs to get a Timmy Ho's coffee. We then went outside to sit in the sunshine for a little while. We stayed out about 5 minutes and then he wanted to go back inside...said he was cold.
One last story I forgot to tell yesterday...which I can't believe I forgot! Steven was trying to get out of bed to go to the bathroom, and I was helping him. When he stood up, he looked at me and said...you wanna dance Mama?? OMG!! Yes!! I got my dance with him in his hospital room! It was priceless :)
We are so blessed to have him :)
Thank you for the prayers...love you all <3

Haha yes he did. Hopefully he heard lots of other things too like how wonderful all of his family and friends are who got us through all of this...thanks again Barbie for everything <3
