Welcome to Larry’s CaringBridge Site
Sign In to Show Your SupportIt's time we give everyone an update as we have had a significant amount of you who care so much about us, reach out to us. The past couple months have been incredibly trying on both dad AND mom. They both had Covid before Thanksgiving, mom getting it first with a pretty severe case- but we all know mom & she fought. Dad got it as well, but his was not as bad. They both fought the exhaustion and rested as much as they could. Mom ended up with Covid "brain fog"- this resulted in a lot of confusion for her. She then had an accident where she hit her head very hard, was taken to the ER & diagnosed with a severe concussion. Mom was released to come home to visit her kids & grandkids for a couple of days. While at home she played the Glamma mode & was unable to heal from the concussion. This was a setback to her brain healing which caused some more intense symptoms related to the concussion. Doctors had mom go on bed rest to let her brain heal from the concussion (and the Covid brain fog).
When it comes to dad and his recovery, he had his 3 month follow up with the surgeon. There he was told he could finally put weight on his leg & learn to walk again! At that appointment surgeon said that it could take another 3 months before he is back to his "new normal" whatever that may be! He is learning to walk while his leg is overcompensating for the permanent nerve & muscle damage. He will continue physical therapy a couple times a week to strengthen the muscles in his leg & find his "new normal" of his leg!
Mom & dad could both use continued prayers as they navigate caring for one another! As always we are blessed with all the love & support received!
