Rehab day #1

Thanks to Rodney and Dewayne for spending the night/early morning with Adam! We appreciate it! When I got up to the hospital this morning, they had just put him back to bed. He got to see Sadie for about an hour, hour and a half. He was excited to see her, I think she was a little scared seeing his incision. At first she was really timid, but warmed up and ate a cookie with Adam! After that she was fine and started running around the room. Today's photo is of Adam and Sadie and their cookie time. He walked with physical therapy in the afternoon and did a great job. They stopped with him and had him sit down half way through and when he sat down he said, "did you guys need to rest?" Ha! He did very well. He's quick out of his bed too, so you really have to watch him! I had to jump up several times to get to him! They are talking about maybe transferring him to rehab tomorrow. Super quick, but it'll be good to get him moving! They said he'll have multiple hours of rehab each day, so he'll be busy, but maybe that will wear him out a bit and help him to get some sleep! His short term memory isn't very good, forgets things really easy then asks the same questions over and over and over again! Speech therapy will do some work with him to help him with that though. Tonight Jake's spent the evening with him and brought him a blizzard that he said he'd eat half of, and before we knew it, the blizzard was gone!!! He wanted to walk in the hallway, so Jake and Uncle Joel took him for a walk tonight and said he did well. Today when I told him that Uncle Joel is the one who found him after his accident, he said "Oh, really? I'll have to thank him." So Uncle Joel, if he forgot, let me say it a hundred plus times, THANK YOU. He's here because of you! Dad is sitting with him now and I just got word that he pulled his IV out, so that's gone now too. The nurses said he's doing just absolutely wonderful! I'm so grateful to everyone for their constant prayers and thoughts for Adam. If Adam isn't an example of a miracle, I don't know what is! Thank you! Dad is spending the night tonight with Adam, so I'm sure he'll have stories to tell in the morning. I'm going back to work tomorrow, so expect a later post like today! But thanks for tuning in to see how he's doing! He'll enjoy reading this when he's better!
