Journal entry by Mia Hudson

Hello Readers— 

Well it has been 8 days of rehab, it has been a little tough, he is hopped up to 105 feet with his walker, he is still not able to bear weight on left leg. He learned to shower, dress, and get in and out of a simulated car, made top Raman,

His ribs are aching like a mother trucker, with doing more  physical activity on less 💊medication, Yay!! Basically he is doing what he needs to do to get mobility back.

Today we had meeting with 👽Rehab team, and if we can get a ramp built for front door access, the boy will be coming home.

Yes, you read that correctly!! The boy is coming home!! Sunday, September 5th.

We’ve ordered in home rehab, there coming on Wednesday.  I’ve moved a twin bed into my living room.

JP is coming over tomorrow to start the construction of the ramp.

There  are a few things we do need if anyone has around ? We could borrow??

TV,  Bed Rail, Suction Grab bars for shower and Toilet Safety Frame.  These are things except for the TV he will need that insurance does not cover.

All in all, everything is moving fast, thanks again for all your well wishes. I can’t believe how fast he has healed.

At this rate, it won’t be long that I will be updating when he is walking on his own.

❤️💕❤️❤️💕❤️❤️💗💕
