Off to Georgia!
We arrived at the hospital today shortly after 6am to have one last breakfast with him and see him off to Atlanta! He was in the shower when we get there and then we went down to the cafeteria to eat. When we got back up to the room, I had to head to work, but Dad, Mom and Adam finished getting ready and they came with a stretcher (Adam was none to pleased!) and strapped him in and away they went. They said it was a small plane and Adam said it was a bumpy ride! When they arrived in Atlanta they started right away with meeting with nurses, case managers, and therapists. Dad and Adam had lunch in Adam's apartment like kitchen. It was ham and cheese for Dad and Peanut Butter and Jelly for Adam! He'll get $30 a week to buy groceries with and he'll have to prepare his own breakfast and lunch eat day. They will take him to the store every Thursday! Supper will be as a group. Tomorrow night they are taking them to Chili's. Adam wasn't too pleased tonight. He has an assistant that stays with him around the clock until they evaluate his abilities. He didn't really care for someone following him around! Ha! I told him it wouldn't be forever! Not to mention, he wasn't really being followed around because his assistant fell asleep on the other bed in his room and was snoring! Ha! Adam did say his bed was bigger there, and wasn't a hospital bed at all, so maybe he'll be getting a little more sleep! I can't wait to see what this place is like! I'm heading down on Thursday and getting there Friday! Thank you all for all the thoughts and prayers. It's daily that I get comments and questions about how he's doing. People are praying, and there is one reason he's alive...that's because of God! It's also because of all the great people that helped rescue him the night of his accident and because of people like all of you who are praying for him! We'll continue to keep you posted! Thanks! Oh and I'm waiting on an email with Adam's contact information while he's there. I've had a few requests for that information and also if you want to send anything down for us to give to him, I'll be leaving Thursday and Mom is going down next week.

Yes, we will post the address later tonight with mailing info and also visitation info if anyone should venture down that way.
ReplyDeleteMike sent a message but it was late, after Carrie had gone to bed and I was one foot headed that way!
I'm sure she'll give us details later today after work! Stay tuned, another work in progress!
Maybe bedding from home would make him more comfortable while he's in Atlanta? Just an idea.
ReplyDeleteAlso, can he request a 6' blonde to be his assistant? He probably would enjoy someone following him around then. Ha HA.
