Home on Monday?

The doctors have given him a couple more days at the hospital. He's eating fine - he just needs to pump some iron with those toothpick legs of his. He's walking a loop around the nurses' station with a walker a couple times a day. He's getting off the mattress into a standing position now (he does have to have someone present though in case he loses his balance). He needs to do little exercises when he's in bed, like leg lifts and knee curls more often per doctors orders. He's doing good though.

He's motivated about coming home - he wants to cook some of his delicious bolognese sauce for me. Mmmmmm.........

Look out, world . . . our super hero is getting ready to spring that joint, but is the world ready for him? Monday sounds good . . . the imperial walkers are stamping in their stalls.

You go Tom! I'm a proud sister. I'm so happy for both of you. Hang int here with all the exercising so you can get strong again. I'm sure you won't be missing any meals or snacks. I'm ready for you to come down here and cook me some sauce. In the meantime, I'll send shrimp back with Crhis in a couple of weeks.

So very glad to hear you're heading home. Love you all !

Hugs & Kisses,
Elise
