I'm Still Standing

With a little help from my friends....


Such grit and determination

I'm proud of you Scotty. I know it wasn't easy but you pushed hard today.


We're still hanging around the 8th floor. We should be moving tomorrow to JRB. We've put in our reservation requests... 6th floor with Kathy, Keira and Fran, OT with Carole, private room and Dr. Young whom we've gotten to know and admire during our tenure on the JRB Patient Advisory Council.

Keep on rocking.....

Here are a couple links with info on the mission to Haiti

a blog from one of the surgeons http://rushnews.wordpress.com/2010/01/26/mission-to-haiti-dr-jeff-mjaanes-first-blog-entry/

and for anyone on FaceBook there is a Facebook Group that is helping pay the overwhelming financial expenses to send Dr. Ben over to Haiti. He took on the expense personally but his support group has rallied (much like Scott's) to help in the financial burden. If you feel so inclined to donate or if you just can join and spread the word. http://www.facebook.com/#/group.php?gid=263316483030&ref=mf

I'm feeling a little better. Since Scott got all his activities completed this morning I went home for a nap. The next few days as Scott adjusts to life at Bowman and the 2-3 hours of physical therapy (PT) and occupational therapy (OT) (Hey Carole) I'll be spending a lot of time at the hospital to help with the transition.

It's a fantastic positive step forward. But with all change comes apprehension. It's so comforting to know that we've already got some great friends that happen to be fantastic nurses there to support us. (Don't forget our bread Kath - I'm craving)

This will serve as todays update unless Scott decides to get creative. See you on the flip side kids.
