Good News and Potentially VERY GOOD NEWS

Our superhero might come home this weekend FOR GOOD, and if he isn't ready to be discharged just yet, he might get a "Sunday Pass" (for good behavior?).  Two therapist have gently tried to break the news to me that he's doing so well that there's talk of moving him to outpatient services.  We're thrilled!  Although I LOVE the amount and intensity of services here I know we'll do our best to work him just as hard at home.  Dr.  Hess did urge me not to overstimulate him and not to drink coffee while working with him.

Also, his "Lincolnness" is coming back.  His humor is coming through ever so slowly, and usually after the lights are out and I'm about to fall asleep.  That's when he comes up with some really funny things.  Last night he made up a song about my new, squishy, round physique (what do you expect after a full month of sitting in a hospital getting NO physical activity and eating nothing of any nutritional value?).  But his humor only comes out at night...he's like Michigan J. Frog...remember him? "Hello my honey, hello my baby...."?  But turn the lights on and he's silent.  Regardless, I'm so happy he's returning!
