Good News!

First, I have to tell you about last night. Every night, the nurses have had to give Mitch a shot to prevent blood clots. It hurts like none-other (in Mitch's words). Well, Mitch was kind of sad last night because he really wanted to be at home for Hilarie's banquet, but it didn't look like that was a possibility. So he told the nurse he was having a really bad night. He was the negotiator...he asked her that if he got up and walked to the door and back, then he wouldn't have to have the shot. It worked! And he walked! He did it! I guess a little determination and fear of pain gets you places.

Now the good news...the doctor came in this morning and said that if Mitch can walk steady with his crutches, he can go home today!!! He had to go to the bathroom this morning, and he got out of his bed and stood with his walker and peed (once again, a lot). He is moving SO much better this morning. So today could be the day!! The PT comes in at noon so, I'll update you with the news later.
