mikemodeler Posted October 12, 2018 Posted October 12, 2018 May God be with you and your family in this time of need. I cannot imagine the pain you are all going through and will go through in the coming months. It sounds like your son will win this fight and with your love and support, come out of it in due time. Prayers for you all to recover completely and quickly. This is the part of being a parent that is the hardest.
KWT Posted October 13, 2018 Author Posted October 13, 2018 Thank you everyone. It is all appreciated immensely! And I have to get this out there... HIS LEFT EYE HAS A LITTLE RESPONSE TO IT!!! And the PT said his range of motion has improved so much they are impressed!!
tbill Posted October 14, 2018 Posted October 14, 2018 Just saw this, also hoping for as speedy a recovery as possible, and sounds like things are progressing at a good rate. Thoughts and prayers for you folks from here.
KWT Posted October 17, 2018 Author Posted October 17, 2018 (edited) Folks I'm about to bust at the seams... They got him up for PT today. Was going to walk for the first time in 2 weeks... Not only did he walk from the bed to door (with a walker, PT, and me in tow) he walked all the way down the hallway and back. I said, man I'm shocked. His PT said, you are not the only one.

crazyjim Posted October 22, 2018 Posted October 22, 2018 I love to hear good news. Thoughts and prayers still coming your way.
vamach1 Posted October 22, 2018 Posted October 22, 2018 So glad to hear of your sons progress. My daughter and three friends car flipped over a slick highway (the driver fell asleep) and two girls were unscathed, one had facial injuries and broken bones and my daughter had a lot of cuts and bruises and a concussion but under the circumstances I consider her lucky to be alive after being ejected out the rear window. We got the call from the police at 4am and they did tell me she was okay knowing it was going to take two hours to drive to see her and the others. The seriously injured girl recovered after surgeries and rehab and it's four years after now and it's a day I'll never forget. Take one day at a time and faith will get you though this rough time.
KWT Posted October 26, 2018 Author Posted October 26, 2018 Yesterday the doctors and rehabilitation team got together to discuss progression status, to try to come up with a target date. At this time, as long as he stays on the path he's on now, we have a projected discharge of 11/7! He's determined to get home, though some of his rehab sessions leave him a little frustrated. When we have one of those, we have a good pep talk and he's good to go. Yesterday we rolled up in front of a window and looked at how the cooler weather had taken over since he's been in there. And then played cards for over and hour. That is the most time he's been able to do anything since being awake... Due to fatigue or unable to focus. It was awesome, and he felt so good afterwards that he had been able to play for so long. Weve sat and talked of memories, that he's starting to have.. Does this old cold heart good to see him smiling and even laughing again. Thank you all again for the kind words and prayers. He has read them, and says thank you also.
High octane Posted October 26, 2018 Posted October 26, 2018 Still prayin' and hoping for a full recovery. Take it one day at a time.
afx Posted October 26, 2018 Posted October 26, 2018 Ongoing progress is a great sign - pulling for him.
crazyjim Posted October 26, 2018 Posted October 26, 2018 Praying that he continues to make wonderful progress.
Lizard Racing Posted October 26, 2018 Posted October 26, 2018 This is about the biggest hit life can throw at you. Best wishes for your son's recovery. It's amazing how the body can recover from such horrendous injuries.
