Finally...An Update

Apologies, apologies to all who have come for an update and found the same post over and over again...isn't that annoying!! I haven't had internet access and have been yucky sick with all-day morning sickness, but have been told repeatedly to update my blog. Thank you everyone for showing your concern and interest in Greg and our family we have felt your prayers and sincere words of encouragement. We have been so blessed. Greg is doing AMAZING! Today we were able to come home to Idaho for a one night trip to listen to Greg's little brother Tyler report from his mission. Tyler came home from Mexico one day after Greg's accident. We are so excited to be home, if only for one night. Greg will go back to McKay-Dee for a few days after and then hopefully be released home for good. It's been a little over a month and his progress is really a miracle! Since my last post Greg had a second surgery to remove some fluid and old blood that did not absorb. Immediately we could see improvements in his movement. The right side started to increase in ability and his speech came easier and quicker. Since then Greg can walk by himself without a cane. They've made a special brace for his right foot to help keep his toe up. He's getting motion and strength back into his right arm, though it is sparatic. I have to keep a heads up that I don't get knocked out by involuntary movement...everyone else be warned as well. As you can see from the picture the second surgery left quite a scar, we thought the doctor was just going to drill a hole, but apparently not! Still, he's looking good!! A couple days ago he got the flu and was sick for a day, I think he had sympathy preggo pains...maybe? Today when we came home we were blown away by all the care and effort that various people have put into watching over our home. Our lawn looked a million times better than it did before. All the weeds were pulled and the lawn edged. My garden was amazing...I can't believe it really grew! My family cleaned our house up and two friends of our family, Tom and Larry, had gone in and finished our bathroom project which included sheet rocking, tiling and fixing our shower, putting our sink in, haning fixtures and fixing our "handy work." My mom and dad have been watching our tank Luke, who's growing like a weed, since the beginning. We are overwhelmed by everyone's love. Thank you, thank you! I hope one day I can serve everyone the way we have been served.
