Good Morning All,

Let's start with a little from yesterday. They knew they had Hank for one last day and they had him busy! He did a long walk outside then up to exercise room for 30 minutes on an exercise bike. Then he got some therapy on moving the shoulder around to keep it lose. They are sending us home with instructions as well. Then in the afternoon they had him get down on a mat and get back up. It went well with just a little bit of vertigo and when we get home his therapist will work on that. It will involve some specific moves to clear it up and maybe when the neck brace comes off it will help as well. The day ended with a back, shoulder massage and then his wife gave him a nice shower and put him to bed! We had NO interuptions last night and I didn't wake up until about 6 this morning, nice!
This morning they took out the pick line (one they draw blood from) so as of 9:40 he was totally tubeless!!! The physical theapist came in and took him in for some shoulder exercises and heat, then the wound care came in and cleaned out his knee which they said is healing great and we don't have to worry about covering it in the shower anymore. So we are packed up just killing a few minutes before we head to the airport! The wonderful friends Doug, Mike and Henry are in the air on their way and we can't wait to get home. Wha-hoo! Tomorrow Hank has his doctor appointment and off we go to getting our lives back to normal. I've got to get home because the little man wants to get those pumkin seeds planted!
Have a great day everyone! We send our love and prayers to you all!

God Bless,

Hank & Pam
