Austin good news
Updating from my own observations: Starting on the 26th Austin started to make good progress. Each time he got up it was a little bit easier. The hardest part was the 'getting up' . . . . . once up, he was walking quite well. The 'meds' situation steadily improved. Eating too.
I left Ogden for Dianne's and Marty's about 11am on the 27th. The Dr. discharged him from McKay - Dee the same afternoon, and they came home later that evening. Arrived home about 11pm, doing well and glad to be home. ( The roads were horrifying) Marty had cleared away a mountain of snow earlier in the day, and Thayne, Hayden, Abbi, and Ethan had worked hard to clear snow, clean house, etc. and had everything good and safe for the homecoming. They were so excited to have him home and even though everyone knew it was probably best to go to bed, they didn't -- they finished Christmas instead -- mostly. A few things waited until Sunday, the 28th.
Before I came home on Mon. 29th, Austin had been up the stairs at least twice; getting up by himself; and sitting in a chair some. Ready to get around without the 'walker'.
Austin has some interesting 'photos' (X-rays) to show you sometime. Pictures of a miracle.
Now, Dianne says, it's much easier for him to get to his feet, doing that on his own; he has been up and down the stairs several times; sat at the table to eat yesterday. It sound like he is really on his way!
So sorry I missed seeing so many of you on Friday -- but that gives me lots of reason to come see you, call and visit, and all that.
OUR LOVE TO EACH ONE AND ALL OF YOU WONDERFUL CHILDREN, GRANDS, AND GREAT-GRANDS!!!!!
You are the greatest blessings to our lives; we are so richly blessed because of you. Each one of you. Love, Grandmother and Grandfather Woodland
