Monday, Monday

Hey everyone, Sorry there was no update yesterday, but I've decided to take a break from blogging and the computer in general on Sundays from now on, unless something huge happens that you need to be made aware of immediately.
Dan had a good day in rehab today. However, he is still confused and anxious about work. A friend of his came to visit him today and Dan tried to convince him that SPS had moved to the hospital. He is very preoccupied with getting back to work, and worried that his boss has fired him. Other than his confusion, and having difficulty walking for long periods of time, Dan has really been making huge strides in recovery! The doctors are meeting tomorrow to give Dan a new projected date for his homecoming.
We would, of course, love for him to come home soon but there do need to be a few things that change first. One, Dan would have to understand that he must follow the doctors orders, and those he receives via Kathy. He told her today that he didn't want to come home and fight about what he could and couldn't do. He just wants to come home, ride his motorcycle and go to work. Keeping him from his motorcycle and his work are going to be two of the hardest things that Kathy has to do once he does come home, so we need him to have a clear understanding of why he can't have those things. Two, we need to be able to trust Dan not to get out of bed without first waking Kathy and asking for assistance. If he got up in the middle of the night and tried to use the rest room or get some water, he could very likely fall and hurt himself even more. And three, we just need to make sure that we don't rush this. That the doctors are able to fairly asses where Dan is in his recovery and if Kathy is able to care for him single handedly (physically and emotionally) once he comes home. Next to Dan, this transition affects Kathy most of all.
Please join me in praying that the doctors are guided by God in all of their decisions, and that Kathy will be well rested and prepared for the next step of the journey.
We remain yours, in love,
The Family
