He is doing really well and making improvements physically and cognitively every day. And sometimes the brain slows down his physical improvements. So it will be a long process. Everyone here pushes him to get better. And he wants to come home so badly. He was teary last night and today because he “just wants to go home” and “just wants to run and play with Michael” and “just be a Dad”. He talks more about that than work, but often does ask me about the business and if I’m paying our bills. He seemed okay about me writing checks the old fashioned way when I told him today.
Bob asked a ton today about our fertility doctor and if I had seen him lately (we ended that process over three years ago). He was almost fixated on it. I just kept redirecting him to the babies we do have.
He did a great job writing in speech and answering questions and did an even better job in PT. I was going to post a picture of him standing because Brent said they had him up to three minutes at a time. I really didn’t believe him. But I figured this video is even better to share.
WALKING!!! You can hear “get it big guy, get it”. That was another TBI patient encouraging him. This place is amazing. This was his second attempt at walking with assistance. The first time he was taking baby steps. The PTs and I reviewed the video and made adjustments and this was a clip of round two. I am so proud of everything he is doing. He told me today that he “hates car accidents” Don’t we all. But we love you, Bob.
And thank you again to everyone who has helped our family in even the smallest way (and some big ways). We appreciate you so much and it allows me to be here to support him. Everyone who takes something tiny off my plate just continues to lighten them so I can keep them spinning. I tell Bob every day about who has stepped in to fill a need or void and he always tells me how nice you all are. And “wow”. Yep babe, just “wow”.
Love to you all.

Making strides…
Great day today. I love coming to Bob’s therapies. His PT, Ranit, even said today that he is more motivated when I am here. That doesn’t mean he’s a slug when I’m not, but he pushes himself even harder when his cheerleader is here. But when I told Bob I want to be here every […]

That doesn’t mean he’s a slug when I’m not, but he pushes himself even harder when his cheerleader is here. But when I told Bob I want to be here every day, he said “you can’t. We have a mortgage”.
