Gregg is Home!!

Pictures to come...

Gregg and I came home from the Hospital on Friday the 13th, just in time for a busy weekend. If you thought that Gregg would come home to rest and watch TV... you do not know Gregg. I was ready to come home and rest from all of the "resting" that we did at the hospital, but Gregg was ready to go! Friday we went to lunch then to the Outlets here in town. Gregg was excited to get a new surround sound system for the new TV that we are getting. So at about 4:00pm we got home to play darts and finally get into bed. But not for long! Gregg was ready to get all around the house and then play some more darts! :-)
Saturday morning we went to a friend, Cody's Fire Accadamy Graduation. then from there to Lunch at his parents house. I was ready to go home but Gregg was just getting started! We went to the Simi Valley Mall to check out some cool stuff and run into a few friends. Then it was to the house! But still Gregg was all over the house working on some computer stuff.
Sunday we went to Church and then to Costco area for an outing. After that a friend came over to help with computer trouble. i was able to work on laundry. We had one more outing before friends brought us dinner.
As you can see Gregg is doing great! The doctors put him back on stronger doses of his medications before sending him home. They found that as they started taking him off the medications that they got to a point where he was just not doing well. I was sooo thankful that they raised the amounts before sending him home, he was just not doing well at all with his Physical Therapy with the lower dose.
They did send us home with a Wheelchair, shower bench, walker, crutches, and other handy devises. Gregg starts Physical Therapy and Occupational Therapy on Tuesday. From there we will find out how many days a week he will be going to the Therapists. Most likely 3-4 days a week. In the mean time they tell him to walk, it helps his range of motion and strength. Well he sure has been doing a lot of that!

Wondering what you can do to help Gregg's recovery? Call or come and visit! Gregg and I love to hear from or see all of you!

Thank you for your prayers and your support. We are truly blessed by all of you.

Update on Gregg and Friday the 13th

So it is that time of the week. I am home for a shower and to do laundry! This is the best. I go home about every 3 days to get all cleaned up and ready to go for the rest of the week. Sydney is here with me. I picked her up from Mom and Dads to keep me company while I am here. Shel is so nice to have around!
OK so here is the deal with Gregg.... He is amazing! This man is so strong and determined. He is now walking with crutches... no more walker!!! He looks great! So far he is improving greatly every day! He is now able to get up and back in to bed with only minimal help from me. Thank the Lord they let me really take care of him. I am just another one of the girls! We are thankful for that. Gregg gets more showers now that i can do it. :-)
Gregg does have quite a bit of nerve damage on his right leg. This does not help things for him. It mostly effects his knee. This makes it difficult to know if he is walking correctly. With lots of time he should get more and more of the feeling back. They may possibly do a MRI to see if there is anything else causing the "wobbly" knee. They also are looking at taking out Gregg's staples in both legs tomorrow (the 5th)! We are hoping that they will take out the stitches in his face, they are driving him crazy.
As of today we were given a projected date of Friday the 13th for a go home goal. We are excited that it is when it is. Gregg is very thankful as am I for the great staff that is there at the hospital. Gregg has come up with the idea that we are on a Cruse... we just can't leave our room, but friends can come see us! So come see us!!!!!!
Thank you for all of your prayers,
Gregg and Kathleen Bowcock
