WOOOOOOW......

that was a road trip....

I wanted to Thank ALL of you for your prayers and concerns and warm wishes.

Long story short....

ALL is going to be ok with time....Bro. is OUT of ICU, he is off the vent, he is already off the ortho floor and is in a private room on REHAB...he has already gotten out of bed and walked (very short distance) with PT, he had his 1st shower in 12 days, he only has 1 IV remaining, he is already eating solid foods....he does have a broken scapula (left), and metatarsel in the left hand. (left side of body impact)

he is still a little foggy in the head...doctors think he may have a small concussion, and they admitted they HEAVLY sedated him due to his body mass...so some of the fog is the meds.

other than that all else can be repaired and they expect a 100% recovery...

First words..."FUUUU___________K" followed by "YOUR ALL HORRIBLE"
First request..."GET ME A CHEEZEBURGER"
First thought out loud..."I need to POOOOO" (no bowl movement in 11 days will do that.

26 years old and already trying to find a way to have SEX in the hospital...(kids)

so all and all he is just fine...

Thanks again...the power of prayer is alive and works.

Sounds like he is definitely improving. I just hope one day he realizes just how lucky he is!! :)

So glad to hear that all is going well. I have been away at a trial and not on the internet. When are you leaving for home. Prayers still coming !

annette,

I just got home....

we left N.Cal..thursday and drove home today. (had to get back to vote, but would have stayed had Aaron not made such a good turn)

My bro lives in Tempe...off Rio Salado..My parents have their "winter" (lol, yea right winter in AZ) home in Mesa.

I will be back down in a few weeks...gonna bring Gusto down for his first visit. So Aaron can see what a REAL dog is all about...(he's a Pitbull fan)
