Well I hope you all survived the earthquake! What a shock! Ken and I are both fine. My first full day back at work and there is an earthquake. Is this a sign?? So I was able to get to the hospital early since the office closed. Ken had a pretty rigorous physical therapy session. He did very well at standing, bearing weight on his right arm and leg and taking small steps. The effort wore him out so he fell fast asleep right after dinner.

When he first had the surgery the sight of his head being slightly sunken in was very shocking. Then the swelling filled it out too much and that was hard to get used to. The swelling is down considerably now and the sunken side is a welcome sight. It means that he is healing and the more the swelling reduces the more function he will regain. He is in good spirits and I am grateful for that. Tomorrow is his treatment team meeting and we will set a potential discharge date. I am excited to see what they determine. More to come tomorrow!

Good night!
