I've been thinking of that song from "Annie"--"Tomorrow! Tomorrow! I love ya Tomorrow! You're always a day away!" :) TOMORROW WE ARE COMING HOME FOR A MONTH!!! :) We both are sooooooo excited!!!
This day has been a very busy one, but a good one. It first started out by finding out that one of Jake's buddies from his platoon (from a different accident) is out of the hospital and is staying here at the Mologne House. :) In fact, he is one floor above us. We ate breakfast with him and his mom and then we all went over to formation together. It was really nice to meet his mom and talk to her.
We had to leave formation a bit early to meet with Jacqui (OT) for an assessment. It was so wonderful to see her again and to hear her and Jake tease each other and laugh together. :) She loved her gifts from VT!! We then headed over to the barber shop so that Jake could get a haircut. He looks so good in his military cut. :) Well, at least I think so!
Off to another appointment with the pain doctor. FINALLY, we got everything worked out with his pain medications! It was such a mess these past few days with different doctors and nurses--and in one simple visit, everything was solved. Now we will wait and see if it works. His appointment with TBI was soon and in the hospital, where the pain doctor is located, so we decided to grab some lunch at Subway (in the hospital) and eat outside. It was such a beautiful, beautiful day! The humidity was low, the temperature was in the low 80's, partly cloudy, and a gentle breeze was blowing. It was so nice to sit outside and just enjoy the day. :)
We stopped in to see his nurse case manager (NCM) after all of the appointments to make sure everything was set for Jake's leave. We need some equipment at home and need a referral for PT. Well, our fingers are crossed that his NCM was able to get it all arranged. Like I've said before in different posts, there is a lot of paperwork with the military--even for this. Guess we'll see if he was successful when we get home!
We are all packed now and ready for our "Tomorrow"!! :)
