It's been a while

Once again, time is flying like crazy around here! I've had many people mention that they haven't seen anything on the blog for a while, so I thought I'd get on to update! Adam is doing extremely well. His therapists have all been very pleased with his recovery and progress. They commented that most of the time those that have been to Shepherd's come back way more advanced than those that haven't. So we definitely believe that we made the right decision by sending him to Shepherd's Center! Even though it was hard! We're glad we did. For the last 3 weeks Adam has been going to therapy 3 days a week. He has taken tests that were given to him in Atlanta and passed them with flying colors!

He had a CT scan on his shoulder last week, and we're waiting to find out what they will do with his shoulder. He'll meet with his doctor next week to find out what the plans are.

He saw his dentist, Dr. Zollinger, a few weeks ago and they think he may have messed up some muscles on his left jaw and may have the early signs of TMJ, so he uses a heating pad on his jaw every night and that seems to be helping.

As far as therapy, he's done until Wednesday when he meets with Dr. Lazoff. Once he sees him we'll know if he needs further therapy or if he's done. He also started back to work this week. They have limited him to a certain amount of hours each day, but when he goes back to Dr. Lazoff on Wednesday they will re-evaluate if he can add more hours to his work days! He said it was good to be back today! I think he really enjoyed being back into somewhat of a routine!

Adam still gets tired easily, but not nearly as bad as before! So he's getting there! I think for the most part, he's sleeping better at night too. He was able to ride in the Old Settler's Day parade this past weekend. He's back to joining us at Bdubs and going to hang out with friends. Really, at the end of the day, he's doing very well! We never thought he'd be this far along in his recovery at this point, but we are so grateful for his progress! We're 15 weeks post accident at this point (well on Saturday that is)! I can honestly say that even though life seems back to "normal", I really don't know if life will be "normal" again. The days and weeks seem to pass quicker than before, but we'll take each day we get and keep running with it!

Thank you for your continued prayers for Adam and our family! We truly appreciate every single one of them!
