Well it is Saturday evening and things are beginning to feel closer to normal. J and I have spent the evening watching preseason NFL and the Bristol race. Today was pretty quiet. There are probably two reasons for this. Things really slow down here on the weekend and J is in need of less and less medical attention.
From here the focus will shift to physical and occupational therapy. J continued to work on transferring from the bed to the wheelchair today. Each time he does this, it goes more smoothly. It is painful, hard work for him to first sit up, and then move himself with one hand across the transfer board and over to the wheelchair. J is however, determined to be more independent and is working hard to get there.
We are still looking forward to Monday being the day we return to Fayetteville. It will feel good to finally be home!
Love to you all,
Cara

What a day to look forward to!!! Cara, I know it will feel wonderful to sleep in your own bed with the boys close by.
J, get lots of rest today, as it sounds like when you do get back to hog country, your many friends and supporters will be pushing you hard to get you back to normal!
Can't hardly wait until the Monday night blog to share in your joy.
What great news to start this Sunday Morning! Northwest Arkansas is so ready to welcome J back home.
I hope he'll be ready to receive visitors soon after getting here, cuz I have a feeling you'll have to issue appointments : )
God Bless!
