A cloudy rainy day, but the rays of sunshine peak through every so often. It's beautiful to see and to feel the warmth of the sun.
Another peaceful and quiet day before the hub-bub of the week begins. Jake and I visited with the parents of one of his buddies who is here as a result of his injuries. It was nice to talk to them and to laugh. Jake then went off with his buddy and two other friends to spend time together watching football games at a local gathering place. I stayed back to have some quiet time of my own and to let Jake be on his own without mom hovering over him. :) He has been texting me, though, to make sure that I am okay and to keep me posted on the scores of the games--especially on the Steelers game. Yes, we are true Steelers fans. :) And, yes, the Steelers won! :)
Jake has an early morning appointment with his primary care physician tomorrow. As of right now, that is his only appointment. But, we have learned from the past that it never stays that way. With coming back from con leave, he still has to check in with his sergeant and with his nurse case manager. I'm sure that when we walk out of his nurse case manager's office, Jake will have the rest of the day filled with things to do and the rest of the week filled with appointments. This is good though. Every appointment means another step in his recovery and possibly another step to him being transferred home for good.
We are also hoping that his physical therapist here will start him on aquatic therapy like he was receiving back in Vermont. The aquatic therapy was heaven for Jake. :) He loved being in the pool and to be able to use his legs to "walk" in the water. That type of therapy seems to be the most beneficial to him--physically and mentally.
Just as the sun's rays peak through the cloudy sky, little rays of hope and promise peak through each day for Jake.
