I didn't realize just how rough Rich looked yesterday until I saw him today. As I entered his room this morning, he was in the middle of standing up for the first time since the procedure. The team of people who helped him stand, helped him sit in a chair nearby. He was able to sit for 40 minutes before getting back in bed, which was very good. The swelling in his face was gone, his color was back, he was more 'with it' and his great smile had returned too. I was so glad to see that my hubby had improved.
We were able to spend all day together, thanks to Grandma and Grandpa's visit here to South Dakota. By mid-afternoon, a PT staffer had him walking down the hall. Although it was pretty painful, it was progress, which led us all to believe that this is going to be a good recovery.
I returned home at dinnertime to relieve my in-laws from child-duty so they can pay their son a visit as well. It was so nice to walk in the door and enjoy a delicious home-made chicken and rice casserole. As I sit here typing this blog and thinking about the events of the day, I feel so thankful and think to myself,
"It has been a very good day."
