I have heard the phrase that when the patient is getting bored at the hospital, it is time to go home. Well, poor Steve is bored. He is doing really well in therapy, practicing standing and walking up stairs. He is going really far (last I heard three or four times on the parallel bars). He is nearly getting dressed himself, getting himself in and out of bed. And is mad because the staff will not let him use his walker on his own. I am not sure how far he will go or where he plans on heading to, but he wants to walk the halls. He is not ready yet, because he is still a fall risk, so he can not be by himself. This is his last week and then he will be home, which I hope we are ready for him. The hospital staff will come over next week to evaluate him and then the MCM will help with coordinating what needs to be done and then we are off to bring him home...
It is hard to imagine that on July 20, he had surgery and he was consider high risk and now he is coming home! I can't even imagine being in the hospital for nearly one month.
So, medically he is stable, physically he is stronger and mentally, apparently, he is crazy with boredom.
May God bless you and thank you for all of your well wishes hopes prayers.

Go Steve! We are so excited to read about the great progress.... PLEASE let us know what needs to be done this week. Back to work for me tomorrow... ugh! We are looking forward to having the girls on Tuesday night.... we'll try not to have too much fun this week!
You go Steve! I have seen the girls at church and they tell me
"Daddy's fine". We will continue to pray for your recovery.
