Hello,
Well it sure has been quite an experience. The Doctors here are recommending aggressive physio-therapy, due to LaDawne's severe muscle atrophy. We are glad we can stay a couple of days past the surgery to get a good Idea of what kind of physio would be most beneficial for her. So far it includes 15min on a peddle machine followed by 15min of standing with knee immobilizing braces and on a support stand. Keep in mind LaDawne is not standing on her own yet! We have hope that with this good follow up at home she will continue in her recovery. The Doctors did say that because it has been so long since her initial attack that it will take a long time for recovery. I talked to LaDawne about this and she is up for the challenge. Her experience with physio so far has been very tiring for her, but we are gonna whip this girl into shape! =)
Tomorrow we get discharged and are off to the airport. All of us are a little exhausted and ready to go home. I have full intentions of firing up the BBQ as soon as we arrive home for dinner. LaDawne is looking forward to getting home and being able to talk you, her friends. She will also make a post as soon as we get home, as this work-station I am on is in accessible to her.
Thank you all again for you love.
Sincerely,
Mike
Looking forward to you getting back home as well. Praying for a safe and uneventful flight home and some REST! :)
