Home sweet Home!

Ted is home and sleeping in his own bed! We were both complete nervous wrecks about leaving the hospital and having to figure things out on our own.

But once we got Ted home, and got him settled, we both are more relaxed and looking forward to (hopefully) and quick recovery.

Jack was SO EXCITED to see Ted, but realized right away that "Daddy has a boo boo leg" He's been so careful and gentle around Ted. It's sweet. He's so happy to have his daddy home!

The medical supply company delivered the CPM machine, and got him all hooked up. The guy who delivered it is a nurse, who has spent a lot of time working on an orthopedic unit, so he was very helpful and knowledgeable.

The Physical Therapist called, and she's coming this evening. I had no idea that Ted would have PT on a Saturday night. How cool! It gives me today to get the house clean, and Ted some time to rest up.

Crystal made us dinner last night! Her favorite meal- shake and bake chicken fingers and egg noodles with butter. It was yummy, and so helpful. She's been so helpful this week, and having her here really helped. We are going to be sad to see her go home to CT tomorrow morning. I'm trying to convince her to spend the summer, but I think she's sick of us.

Ted is getting around okay with his walker. We got him some tennis balls for the legs last night, a bike horn, and a light-up bike bell. We haven't put them on yet because Jack thinks they're toys for him- and that could cause some problems.

His pain is "okay" and the percoset is really helping him. He's being a good sport, working hard to not stiffen up. As my dad would say, he's being a "Brave little soldier."

GO Ted! We're all routing for you! You've come so far in just a few days, keep up the good work! I know it's hard, and it would be so easy to just stay in bed and sleep, but I see that determination in your eyes, and know that you can do this! We can do this!
