Cheyenne got nominated and them accepted into the Junior National Honor Society, we are so proud of her! She will be having a induction ceromony later this month, very few kids were accepted so it really is an honor.
I was able to bring Richard home yesterday, he is doing very well, he slept the whole night (he did not sleep much at all in the hospital) I had to wake him up to make sure he took his pills, but other than that he made it through the whole night. He is able to get up pretty well, he is walking, he says the actual getting up and down is the hard part, once he is up he feels pretty good. He cannot sit up for more than 45 minutes at a time, it is to much strain on his spine and the incision, He will be off work on convalescent leave (yeah does not take away from the TONS of regular leave he has built up) for about 6 weeks, with some physical therapy during that time, then we will know how well the surgery worked, the doctor was pretty confident he will see a big improvement, so we are hopeful. I have been sick all day, some bug I picked up, makes it hard to take care of him, but I insist he not over do it, so I will manage, and luckily for me Stevie has been helping as well, running to the store, getting dinner etc.
It is the pits to have to take care of someone else when you don't feel good yourself. It is a good thing you have Stevie. Tell cheyenne congratulations. That is way neat. And boy will it pay off when it comes time to college and scholarships!!!
