Today we had our first visit to "clinic". A transport van came and picked us up and took us back to the County hospital that Lenny was in to see his doctors and surgeons. They removed the stitches from his head that go ear to ear over the top of his head from his facial reconstruction. There were several areas that were still seperated, so they had to put in some new stitches. He also had stitches in his neck removed from the infection surgery he had a couple weeks ago. So, he was almost stitch free - but they had to put some back in his head.
Last night he actually had a 3 hour sleep section, which is the longest since we have been in the rehab. I was so happy when he woke up that it had been 3 hours.
Other then that today had no therapies because we were gone for so long to clinic. Tomorrow he has 2 hours of PT and 1 hour of OT and 1 hour of ST, so it will be a busy day for him and he will be tired.
After we got back from clinic I went back to the hotel and napped for a couple hours since YiYi is here it gives them some quality time they so needed since she was gone when most of his progress started and gives me the much needed sleep. I feel like I could sleep for 2 days straight LOL.
Lenny and I have talked about posting a picture, so we will probably be posting pictures tomorrow night so stay tuned!
Love Nancy & Lenny!

Another day another milestone crossed. You are all doing amazing. I hope that these new stitches heal quickly and the numbness on Lenny's face begins to slowly fade. I can't imagine how strange that must feel. I must say I am so very thankful that it is numb instead of painful.
ReplyDeleteLenny be strong in your therapy tomorrow! I can only imagine how painful some of the things you are doing are. You have gotten so far in such a short time. Besides you are in Suns-land - you may want to kick it in high gear and get back to Cali....you and that gnome aren't going to be very popular when the Lakers start kicking ass!
Nancy I'm so glad to hear you are taking some time for you. Resting and catching up on sleep is so important. I thank God everyday that He put Lenny in a place where you can stay with him over night. I know when I had my last surgery they allowed Brett to stay. It took away so much fear for me knowing that just like at home he was right there with me. I'm sure after everything you both find such peace in just being together.
Continue to take care of yourself Nancy, you are such a beautiful person. As always hugs to you all! I pray that you all sleep well tonight.
