Friday was business as usual with the therapy team. Karl worked with each therapist on different aspects of the mind and body. It's fascinating to see them interact. They love working with Karl and he appreciates all their efforts.
We begged the doctor to give us another day at home with Karl and our wish was granted. This time we had approx 11:30am - 8:00pm on Saturday. During this visit home Karl, was able to be in his home office and check up on what he had been missing. He was able to feel like things were going to be normal again. He even got on the computer for a few minutes!
We had a contractor come by and make parts of the house more stable and safe for Karl. Tightening up the railings and adding grab bars in the shower. Karl was able to slowly go up and down the stairs to give his input! He is still using the walker, but moving around fairly well. It's only a matter of time before his legs get stronger and his movements become more fluid. He's doing incredible so far. A day away from the therapy gym but Karl was still getting in lots of exercise!
Our family was able to share another meal together, and enjoyed some delicious food from dear friends and neighbors. :)
Another long and busy day took a lot out of Karl. We were reminded that the healing process needs to be filled with rest. We are so excited to get our guy back and have our normal lives again, but the #1 focus will be taking it easy. In time we can do more and more, but for now, slow and steady is the way.
