DISCHARGE DATE: 2/26/09!!!!!

Liam's coming home Thursday evening!!!! I can't wait, but I'm also bummed because I will be in New Haven visiting Yale.... I am going to miss the big event, the day I have been waiting for. But, I am still so glad he is coming home. Not as glad is he is though;) He can't wait to sit on the couch, sleep in our bed, just relax and not be in the hospital. This does mean I have to clean the house in the next couple nights. For those of you who don't know, Liam is OCD when it comes to cleaning and organizing. Kiea and I aren't quite as good at those things, and the house is not up to his standards right now. For once, I will be excited about the cleaning because it is for him to come home to.

Luckily, Scotty and Sandy will arrive on Friday. Sandy stays through Monday, and Scotty through the 5th. Joel will be around to stay with Liam also while I am gone. Kiea will of course be here in the evenings since she lives here:) Ashley will also get moved in so she can be around to help out. We have so many amazing friends helping all of us out, thanks to everyone!! Once he is home we can start having visitors here also.

He will be doing out patient therapy, we don't have a schedule yet, but it will be a combination of speech, occupational, and physical therapies. He will most likely go in 3 days a week for a number of hours. It will take them a couple weeks to get him into the schedule. In the mean time, they will give him all kinds of exercises (physical and mental) to work on at home and we all need me make sure he does them. So, when you come to visit, come hang out, but also work with him on some of his stuff. Playing easy games is great to, UNO, cards, anything you want to try with him.

Okay, I need a nap. I got a bad cold after Kristen's wedding on Saturday. Yeah Kristen!! It was awesome, thanks to Matt, Joel, Rene, and Dave for staying with Liam so I could be in the wedding without feeling bad. By the way, Liam is fully with it now, and still agrees to marry me :)

  2. GREAT! So happy for everyone.

    (Also very impressed with a hospital that can discharge you into the past - neat feature.)
