Weekend Update

Chad was released to go home midday Saturday after only a few days of in-patient therapy. Evidently the doctors were pleased with his progress and agreed he could go home and continue outpatient therapy three times a week, until the team decides to change frequency or course.

He is so pleased to be home. Delighted to be out of the hospital, with access to his own bed and all of his own stuff, and with Shannon and the pets close by. The pets are thrilled to have Chad home as well, although Shannon said the dogs didn’t make a fuss upon Chad’s arrival. It wasn’t until they left to run a quick errand and came back a short time later that the dogs lost their minds. :)

While home Chad is working very hard relearning all of the things that don’t come easily at the moment, with homework provided by his team of doctors. He is willing to put in long hours with his exercises, with great focus and attention, which is to be expected by anyone who knows Chad. He is so goal oriented, and such a worker, that he will no doubt press on with all of these therapies and make swift and surprising progress.

So for now Chad is enjoying resting at home and training his brain to recover from the trauma of surgery. Shannon is supporting this training in every way and – it must be said – is doing a fantastic job managing all aspects of Chad’s recovery.

Thanks for staying abreast of all-Chad news.
