In only a few more weeks and Pat should be coming home!!!!!!! It is hard to believe we are going on 8 months since the day of his accident and our lives changing forever. He is ready to come home and I’m ready to have him home. The medicine pump is working wonderfully and his spasms are just about gone. He has been working his shoulders and upper arms and slowly building up his strength. Once he is home he will still continue his therapy and keep up his strength training programs. The house is moving along and should be done by the end of next week. I can’t believe the difference when construction started my house looked like this and now it looks like this. There still is quite a bit to do, on the outside they need to finishing painting, put railings on the decks and landscape. On the inside they need to paint, do the finish electrical and plumbing. I will get all new pictures to show the exact before and after shots so you can really see the difference.

Pat had his surgery to implant the medicine pump this past Thursday and everything went well. We are already seeing a difference in his spasms, so it was worth it so far. He still has to heal up but he should be back to active therapy on Monday. The house is moving along and hopefully will be completed within the next couple of weeks. I have posted a couple new pictures, it has been a very busy time for us since we are getting close to release date so I haven’t been able to keep everything posted.

Just a quick note to update everyone that Pat will not be having his surgery until next week now. We are very disappointed but what can you do. The house is coming along, I think the new floor will be put in this weekend. I’m really looking forward to it and it is just one more step closer to getting the house done. We are hoping to have the house completed but the first week of Oct and to have Pat home then too.

Hi Everyone, sorry I haven’t written anything in awhile but not to much has changed. Pat has been a little bummed out his motorized chair hasn’t been working properly, we think the bugs are finally worked out. His surgery for the medication pump is finally scheduled for this coming Thursday and it will take a bit of time to get that regulated. The house is coming along but not quick enough for me. Keep your fingers crossed that it is done before Sept 30, because we are hoping to have Pat home by then and it it isn’t done then he can’t come home. As always thank you for all your support and I’ll do my best to keep everyone informed.

Not alot to report this week. Pat will not be having the medication pump implanted to either 9/13 or 9/20. We are alittle disappointed but not much we can do about it. His motorized wheelchair should be back from the shop next week so I should be able to get some pics of him in his “new wheels” , get ready to start modifing. The house is coming along all the big stuff is done now it is mostly details (A/C, heating, plumbing etc) that are not as easy to see. On a personal note my baby sister was married this past weekend and she was a beautiful bride and I have gained a nice brother-in-law. The cake was gorgeous made made by a friend of mine and Pat’s
