Mitchell is doing very well. He is getting around great. He went on 4 walks between 8:00 and 11:00. He met with his physical therapist, Laura, for the last time! She did a great job "encouraging" him. I really believe we have finally turned the corner. When I got to the hospital this morning at 8:30, he was dressed in his regular clothes (t-shirt and shorts). He wasn't ready to come home yesterday morning, but he is definitely ready now! I guess our next landmark would be for him to poop! (prayer request!?!?!) Lots of gas...so that's a good sign (I guess!).
He still isn't eating very much, which isn't unusual for Mitchell. He never eats that much. When he's not walking the halls and using the bathroom, he is sleeping (resting comfortably). Which is great.
I, personally, feel like Mitchell is ready to come home...much more at peace with that than even yesterday. He doesn't like the nights here at the hospital and keeps wanting me to stay longer at night and come earlier in the morning. So, one more late night and early morning...sounds good!
He has come a long way after such a major surgery...so many better days ahead! Thanks once again for all your thoughts and prayers and support. Couldn't have done it without you and the grace and mercy and healing power of our awesome God!
I'll keep you posted about tomorrow's homecoming!
