Saturday, May 3rd: from Julie
We were moved to the “executive suite”, as the nurses called it, of the rehab floor at Harborview. I said to them, “There have been plenty of patients here longer than us—shouldn’t they move into it before us?” the nurses stated that we are such nice people and we have the baby and it just seems to suit us better than other patients and their families at the moment. That was so generous of them. So, we have a couch, a dining room table, and a refrigerator which is VERY HANDY seeing as how I’ve been trying to stash food items and milk for Wayne to eat between meals (his metabolism is still very high).
The DJ Night at The George & Dragon Pub was brilliant! What a great group of such wonderful, caring people. It was amazing to feel such support and love from all the people that know Wayne and I, as well as from complete strangers! Thanks to everyone who made that night a success!! And man did it feel good to get-my-groove-on! Haven’t done that since I was pregnant this past year—last time I really danced was June 2007 at the George & Dragon Pub in their car-park during the Solstice Parade.

Fire those muscles
Friday, May 2nd: from Julie
Today, the physical therapist said that he seems to have the mechanics of walking in his right leg but she’s not quite sure how he is doing it because the muscles aren’t “firing”. “I don’t know how he’s doing it—and I don’t care how, ‘cause he’s doing it. But I don’t know.”

Please Sir, may I have some more?!?
May 1st:Quick update on Wayne: He’s in therapy for several hours a day and he’s doing very well. He has been attempting to walk using the upright bars and with assistance from the therapist. He was able to move his right leg forward on his own. Still no speech, but he’s nodding and doing thumbs-up. He’s been eating on his own and is now doubling his portions. All great news. Due to Wayne’s extensive therapy, he is very tired at the end of the day. To allow him to rest and regain his energy, he is not accepting visitors at this time. Ted returns to New Zealand.
