David is coming home!

David seems to be getting stronger everyday. On Thursday, Mom noticed that he seemed to be making more eye contact and his therapists noticed that he was more friendly. However, he still has the feeling that "nothing seems real." He feels like it is all a dream.
The doctors have told David that he will be discharged from the hospital Friday! He will continue his therapy at Paradise Valley Hospital where they have a neurology rehab center. That is great news that he won't have to travel too far for his therapy! David is already looking forward to coming home and getting back to a normal life style. Mom plans to have him go to all of his classes at least once before graduation. He is also thinking about when he can drive again. Mom said that he won't be driving for a long time still. He then asked if she meant that he could drive after he got his cast off! Sorry David, it will probably take longer than that!
Mom noticed something historical about when David will be released. On Friday he will have been at St. Joe's for three weeks. In a little less than two weeks it will have been 18 years ago that David was discharged from St. Josephs as an infant after spending three weeks in NeoNatal Care. Pretty interesting!

Could he come to Seminary and visit us too? Perhaps on the 21st of May when we have the smoothie party.
