Sleeping in (well, just a little bit), doing laundry, visiting friends, getting even more positive news all around--I'd say it was a beautiful day! :) Excluding the humidity, of course!
No appointments today, but we did go and check-in with a nurse case manager. Jake's manager is on leave this week, so someone else is covering for him. She was extremely helpful and was going to get some answers to Jake's questions. I wish that she was his nurse case manager. Not saying that his isn't a good one--because he is--it's just this woman is very easy to understand and is on top of everything.
After we visited with her, we went to see his Sergeant. This was a good visit because he approved giving Jake con leave!! :) As of right now, if we can get all the signatures of approval, it looks like we will be home some time next week. Jake will be home for about a month and then we have to return back down here to Walter Reed to continue his recovery. As soon as we do return here, however, we will begin the tedious paper work to get him transferred home for good. Jake is excited to go home to "relax" (his words) and to be with family and friends again. :) Now we have work to do at home to prepare for him and his special needs (Mike will have to handle that part). We will keep you all posted on the progress of this exciting event. :)
After lunch, Jake, his Lieutenant, and I took the shuttle over to Bethesda to see their buddies--their medic and his wife. It's always so wonderful to see them! It was even better today because they were able to talk to their medic and see for themselves how he is doing. It was nice to see them all of them together. :)
Now we are enjoying a very relaxing evening to a very beautiful day!
