Rehab Update

Two weeks down, one to go. I met with my team of doctors and therapists today (ten people in all) and was quite discouraged. They'd like me to stay one additional week (going home the 22nd instead of the 15th) but I just don't think I can handle that emotionally. The decision is ultimately up to Jared and I. It's important that I am independent and ready to go home so that I'm not too much of a burden on Jared, but it's also important that I get home to be with my husband and new baby. I can't tell you how much I miss them. For the next week I'm just going to work my tail off. Please pray that I am able to make significant gains so that I am comfortable going home next Wednesday. The thought of two more weeks here makes me cry, I just don't want to do that. The doctors are also working to get us set up with a place called Rehab Without Walls - they come into our home and do the same intensive program at home with me for several hours each day. Please pray the approval process goes quickly and smoothly- there can be a lot of hang ups with the insurance company, and we need to have this set up so I can continue working hard at home. Thanks for all of your calls, letters and emails of support. We are so thankful for the wonderful family and friends we have - I think half of America might be praying for us right now, and we need that. I'm praying for a Resurrection Sunday miracle!
