Great News!

Currently we are looking for visitor/s who can sit with Connor on Sunday from 5-8pm this week.  He has a full schedule during the days and doesn't have time for visitors until this time.

 Well we made it to the 6-week mark from the moment of Connor's accident. How far we have come and how far we have to go - seems like we can do anything as a family and we will accomplish what we thought was impossible. 

Today we have found out that the therapy team anticipates that Connor will be ready to come home in 12 days, several months sooner than we had been told to anticipate. His progress on PT & OT has far exceeded what his therapy team had expected to see when he arrived and has blown all of us out of the water. We were hoping to have him home for Thanksgiving and now it looks like it will be an early B-Day gift for Dave next month. 

His incision is healing quite well and we got our first look at his sutures and scar which is extensive but healthy looking.
His left arm is starting to wake up again after going to sleep from the last surgery, which is excellent to see. A major setback from before the surgery, but thankfully is returning to life, which is helping Connor mentally. 

Off to much needed sleep tonight, on to tomorrow which continues to be a better day - goodnight all.

    Oh, wow! I'm crying tears of joy with the leaps and bounds he has made!!! I have prayed for a quick recovery for a while now and he has me crying. Connor, I am so proud of you!!! Keep going! The goal is well within reach. And just because you are this far along, don't think I'm going to stop praying for you. I pray for all my family whether they be ill or well. It's the only thing I can do to help and helping others makes me happy. Keep going, Connor! You're almost home! YAY CONNOR!!!

19 months out

Image
I haven't posted here in a while, so I thought I would put a picture up of Connor.  It has been 19 months since Connor's accident.  He is still experiencing seizures from time to time.  That is the biggest thing that he is battling.  He has been doing LENS neurofeedback once a week since October 2018 and we have seen significant improvement in his seizures and his life.  Beginning in January, he went back to work part-time and he has started to have a social life again.  He is still not 100%, but I'd say he's 95%, so he still has a ways to go, but with neurofeedback and his will to live, he will get there.   When this accident first happened, the drs and nurses all told us it would be a long road to recovery.  They told us it would be 2-3 years.  We just couldn't imagine what they were saying and how that could be, but darned if it isn't approaching 2 years already!  Recovery has been an excruciatingly slow process since he got out ...

Sunday, Sunday

Currently due to his condition and being in ICU, Connor is not accepting any visitors at this time. Lazy Sundays are nice to have, can't wait to enjoy them at home in lieu of Hotel Emmanuel. Connor has spent today napping off and on while getting a chance to see his brother and sister along with Mama and Papa who dropped by. Great to see him reach for them and have recognition on his face.  He will stay one more night in ICU due to it being Sunday (no moves apparently on the weekend) and the Hotel is full until some of the guests start checking out tomorrow morning.  They did change out his trach tube to a smaller size to continue his transition off utilizing this equipment and back to breathing through his mouth/nose again.  He is sleeping peacefully and his relaxed face is reflecting the healing that we are seeing in his brain. Hard to have him sleep while we are there, as we want to be talking with him and having him reacting to our conversation. But we also kn...

Home Run

Connor can have visitors on a 1-on-1 basis and they need to go through Shan.  He has been asking to see his friends. So if anyone would like to visit, please make arrangements with Shan.  360-984-4780 Well, it has been some kinda day today with Connor.  After sleeping well overnight (as well as you can in a hospital), Connor consumed his first breakfast in 5 weeks - chopped French toast, puréed eggs, yogurt and keifer.  He then went off to rehab where Dana, his therapist got him out of the wheelchair for his first steps. They proceeded over the next 30min to walk up and down the walkway with rails for an impressive three trips. By the end of the third trip, Connor was exhausted and sweating from working himself to the bone. His therapist was blown away by the progress over this week, she has been with him all week and has seen him go from barely balancing on the side of the bed to now walking.  Next up was his first lunch in 5wks which he proceeded to fa...
