It has been one week and one day since his surgery and he is not walking... (for those who were goofy to make a bet) but he did stand with pararrell bars. That upper body strength will be awesome when he is done. So, maybe if program designer is no longer an option, gymnastics maybe?!
He had a few ultrasounds to check his organs and for blood clots, the results will be due later and he needed to be in bed until he has the results, which should be tomorrow.
The Insurnace Case manager is gonig to meet with us next week and helps us to smoothly transition from rehab to home. She has been giving me sound advice about my leave from work if needed and ways to balance it all. Which I needed the long conversation after both girls were crying and calling for me at bed time. When Steve is on the mend, my next big project will be to perfect the art of being in two places at once, I think that the stress in my family will be significantly decreased if I can do that.
He is making friends when the guy next to him, who is also his age. he is really nice and have a rare illness that shut down the nerves from his legs to his brain. So he needs to relearn how to walk, move, etc. For a brief and crazy moment, I think Steve was feeling lucky with just two broken legs. So I think some of the prayers coming to us, need to go to Dave and his family. However with male bonding comes pizza, babes and beers. I am the babe (at least I like to think so), there is no beer as of yet, but they can cheer with pain meds and I am the official food deliverer (tonight it was Wendy's). The rest of the people on the unit are over 70... so Steve has been racing them down the hall in his wheel chair and feeling pretty proud of himself.
Well, it is late and I am tired.
thanks for tuning in and may God bless you.

Great to hear that teachers' insurance is adequate and helpful! We will keep Dave and his family in our prayers, too... as well as praying for good results from the ultrasounds.... and really, when you figure out the "being in two places at once" thing.... PLEASE share it with me, could come in handy 'round here!
Hang in there, we are always thinking of you.

Kendra, i love reading your posts. Not only are they very informative as to exactly how Steve is doing during his recovery process, they are also pretty entertaining and funny. I'm sure that your great attitude is really helping Steve and also the girls.
PS You are a babe in my book! :)
Have you seen her dancing in the sunday school class? Who could not think she qualified as a babe... (don't worry Pam, there was no beer involved!)
