Tuesday night wasn't so good for Brad. While sleeping I awoke to find him escaping his bed, twice. It horrified me and the nurses because if he would of fallen it would of been BAD! He was also able to walk with the PT ( physical Therapist ) once and went 250 feet, which was awesome. His right foot is looking a lot less swollen and he is able to move it more then he ever was able to. He walked later that night too with the help of Josh and Dan and did a wonderful job then also.
Day Eight: Thursday,
Wednesday night was a lot better then all of the nights before. He still mumbled in his sleep a little at first and a bunch of times he took off his oxygen and so all of the machines he was connected to would start beeping, but at least he wasn't trying to escape. First thing in the morning doctor Allen came and said he was ready to go home, which was like music to my ears. I was really nervous to get him home because its nice having all the nurses helping and machines to know he is okay, but the doctors said he would be fine and so we started the process of getting him home. To be able to go home he needed to be able to use his crutches and learn how to go up and down stairs with them so he could get into our house. After that Dr. McCowin came in and said that he would be able to get the staples in his leg out and so we waited a few hours, got the staples out, signed the discharge papers and we were on our way. Thanks to all of our wonderful family members we now have a sweet set up of a hospital bed, shower seat, toilet riser, and many more things to help us on the rest of this journey of getting Brad all healed up.
Thank you everyone who has been praying for Brad, I know each and every one of them has been a blessing to our family.
