Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Laurel 0 #202 June 2, 2005 I got him some cool skydiving pics to go on the wall and he loved them. Thanks for the idea. Also, speaking of CNN, we were watching it again this morning and they were talking about the Michael Jackson trial and he asked me who Michael Jackson was. He has a lot of memory loss, but it will return. And, who cares if he doesn't know who MJ is; MJ hasn't done anything great since PYT (Pretty Young Thing). .....................................................................

They fused C1 to C2 with a rod, 4 screws and ground bone that they took from a notch in his spine. He will be in the hospital for an additional 7-10 days and I will then take him home to continue teaching him how to walk, feed himself, etc. His brain injury is still of concern, but I believe that will heal in time. We are looking at about 10 more months of recovery before we know what we are left with in terms of permanent brain damage. As for the neck, all is stable and he will not lose any flexion or extension but will lose about 20 degrees of lateral movement......................................................................

He is walking by holding onto my shoulders and is becoming more lucid in his conversations. He still has very little short and long-term memory, but his brain is still bruised and will not completely heal for another few months. A funny little story: He told me how much he loved me and thought it would be a good idea if we got married. I told him, "Babe, I've got a little surprise for you; we already are." After a lot more healing time, I think he will be able to put the pieces together a bit better. He will remain in a neck brace for an additional few months, as well, but the good news is that.......he is coming home tomorrow! He will still need 24-hour care and we have about 10 months of rehab ahead of us, but I feel confident that I can care for him at home. Every doctor that followed William's care from Mobile to Shreveport said he would be in a vegetative state for the rest of his life, but the progress he has made since April 23rd has been nothing short of a miracle.
