After 48 days,
5 surgery,
dozen of ups and  downs
We finally are leaving the burn unit!

Bitter sweet, that's for sure.
We were super excited to start the next journey but yet so scared. The Burn unit became our family, our home away from home. We knew that we would be leaving but it was a very sad day. When we were getting all packed up to leave, we took everything down and just sat in Room 25. We talked about the good and bad days in that unit. We got pictures with everyone and headed out for the world, well i guess just rehab. But to us that was the world. No more ICU, no more under the doctor wings, no more IV's, and no more surgery's! We moved from room 30, to room 28, and then made our home in room 25. There were so many good things that happened in that room but yet some bad things. 
We made a FAMILY there and we will always be apart of that wonderful family! We can never thank you enough but THANK you burn unit for saving my dad's life. Many times!

 As you can see the Burn unit made it so we felt like family. They made us laugh when we needed it and 

 Made us feel important when we felt like we had nothing left in us!
 Here's to the next chapter! 
 Here we come rehab! :)



My dad is ready to go home, and we have a set date of coming home....
Ready.

Moving on up

  Its been a week that my dad has been out of surgery. The reason why he went into surgery because when he was really sick he got blisters all over his body. There was a really big and bad one on the inside of his right elbow. Anyways it scabbed really bad, it was black and deep. They are wanting to really get him ready for this prosthetic. They couldn't do anything about his prosthetic till that fall off, so the best thing was to remove it. So that's just what they did. It took about an hour and an hour after his surgery he was up and doing more therapy. It was great to see him up and going around that day. So next step prosthetic.




 Also that same day was a big day for us! 
He was able to get up into a power wheel chair!!! It was pretty amazing to see him getting around all on his own. He was about to do it with his right arm. The whole time that he has been driving his has only ran over mine and Connor foot. Haha
Ill give you a fast update on his therapy. Last time a said anything about it was when he wasn't able to move his left arm at all. Well now he is able to move it up to his nose and flex it a little. It has improved so much in the last 4 weeks. Its just amazing!
Can you see anything different here???
Yea that's right he has no tube!!! Nothing at all. There is nothing that is connected to him! That means he is healthy!!!! Gosh isn't he just handsome!
I look back at the last 9 weeks and i cant believe what he has been through! 
This man is my HERO and so much more!

Connor getting a ride with his Papa. 
So over all last week was a great week. It just made us know that home is closer then we really think!
I love him
