A BIG day!

Today was a big day for both Jeremy and Moni.  Moni had a follow up visit with an orthopedic surgeon today.  Both her collar bone and her knee cap are lined up the way they should be and should heal easily.  Both must stay immobilized for another 4 weeks or so.  Mostly, the collar bone and bruised sternum are what continue to bother her.  Both cause a lot of pain over very normal activity.

Jeremy stood up today very successfully!  This morning he moved over to a chair and sat upright in it for about 10-15 minutes.  After that, he got a surprise visit by Moni and Adam.  This was the first time Jeremy had seen Moni since the accident.  She saw him in ICU but he was sedated.  A little while later, he was visited by our uncle, aunt and grandmother who drove 3 hours to come see him and then they visited Moni.  To round off the afternoon he pushed through a particularly tough physical therapy session.  He stood up, using a walker with an arm rest, walked abut12 feet to the hallway and back!  They are really pushing his therapy.  The harder he pushes himself, the stronger and faster he will recover. 

They are talking about discharging him tomorrow, pending a couple goals met.  If not, it should be Sunday.  Keep an eye out for more developments!
