Fridays appointment with the ortho pa went well. We really liked him. Basically all he did was explain the surgery to us and try to decide when a good time to do it would be. He doesn’t want us to put it off long because Josh is at a big risk of it popping back …

1 MD appointment down, 2 more to go
Josh had an appointment with Dr. Buck the radiation oncologist yesterday. I had classes so our friend Tommy took him. Once he gets his staples out (tomorrow) he will get a CT of the brain. They will make a mesh cover for his head. Radiation will begin about 10 days after the CT, they will …
Back to work!
HAHA! I tricked yall–you thought I was going to say Josh was going back to work already but really its me! I came back to work this weekend after being off for 2 weeks to be with Josh. Its nice for life to be somewhat normal again but I miss being with him. Wednesday Josh …
Home again
Dr. Harron came in to see Josh last night at around 8pm and asked if he wanted to go home tomorrow and Josh replied “I want to go home now!” Dr Harron didn’t really care as long as I was okay with it. If you remember before he originally wanted to do the surgery this …
Better days
Josh has had a good couple days. He hasn’t had any pain medications since yesterday around 6pm. Yesterday in therapy he walked all the way to the nurses station which was about 200 feet, he was getting a little shaky towards the end. We have made the decision to go home rather than a rehab …
New Room….again
We are in a new room, if you want to come visit you must call/text either cell phone and we will let you know what room Josh is in. Today Josh walked with assistance to the bathroom. Tomorrow therapy should be back to help him mobilate more. Dr. Harron said today that as long as …
Another day
Today Josh has been awake more than the past few days. Kobie came to see us today and Josh really enjoyed that! Hopefully tomorrow we will be moving to another room. We had some issues with unwanted visitors so now if you want to know what room Josh is in you have to call/text either …
Therapy, new room
Therapy started yesterday. They came once in the morning and done minor things like hand/arm/leg movement, that went well. In the afternoon they came back and got him on the side of the bed and then stood him up. That didn’t go as well as I’d hoped but he has already came a long way …
Day by day…
..we will make it though this! I got to the hospital this morning around 9am and Josh was sleeping. When he finally woke up he said he had an itch on his nose so I tried to scratch it. He got frustrated that I couldn’t hit the spot and he can’t move his right arm …
Emergency Surgery
I woke up at almost 7 this morning and was getting ready to go relieve our night shift nurse for Josh (Thank you SO much Tiff) and I got a call about 8:15 saying that they were taking Josh down for emergency surgery and that I would probably not be able to see him before …
