GREAT NEWS!!!!!!! :) Jake got accepted into the CBWTU!!!!! We are coming home for good!!!! :)
However, his report date is not what he was hoping for. :( He was hoping for the end of this month, but he has to report there on November 14th. So, we still have some time here. But, that's okay--he's in and we will be going home--that's what is important.
AND, MORE GREAT NEWS!!!! Jake went to see his orthopedic surgeon. He told Jake that he can now start putting weight on his legs and start walking again. :) They want him to start putting weight on his right leg now and within two weeks, the left leg. The surgeon was very pleased to see how well Jake can straighten out his leg and how far back he can bend it. Jake stood up a few times today also!! He was very thrilled to see that he is still taller than me. :) For the past few months, I've been the tall one. Oh well, guess I need to get back to reality--I'll never be taller than my kids! ;)
The surgeon told us that he will be leaving in a few weeks for deployment to Afghanistan. :( Our thoughts and prayers are with him and his family. We are so grateful for him--for everything that he has done for Jake. He is an amazing surgeon.
Jake has an early morning appointment tomorrow with Jacqui (OT) to see if he still needs a NMA. She will determine how much of his ADL (daily living skills) that he can do on his own and how much, if any, he needs help with.
It's been a great day today! We are very excited about the future!
