Another week

I heard some people think Hunter is still in the Hospital. He's Home and he's doing so well. His mind seems to be the same Hunter. He gets angry easier and we joke with him that we are going to send him to anger management school. He's just so frustrated that he has no con troll over his life. Everyone is telling him where to go what to do etc.... I totally understand what he feel. I am so thankful for the miracle of Health he has, but I too will be happy when life is back to normal.
But he's doing really well and seems to just need to build strength and become stronger and more balanced so he can return back to normal school.

Feb 28, March 1, : Hunter gets to stay with Jessica and Jared and Jessica got him to eat almost 1/2 of a slice of french toast. Yeah! On Sunday we meet up for the child exchange (ha ha) at Uncle John and Aunt Dorea's House. And what a wonderful feast they had waiting for us. Thank you so much.

March 2, Monday, took Hunter into Mesa View for blood work due to blood thinners he is on, and of course new computer system so it took much longer than planed 1 1/2 hrs latter we found out his numbers were too high and they have him off medication until Thursday and he'll start on a half of dose.

First day of school for Hunter. He gets 5 hrs a week with a teacher and we do this at 1:50 Mon - Thurs. it doesn't sound like much but they do accomplish allot and he is tired with that short amount of time.

March 3, Tuesday : Took the day to visit Great Grandma Leavitt, He enjoys going over and visiting with her. I think Grandma Leavitt is still stronger than Hunter. and then of course we had School. After School we had another Dr. appointment to find out about the MRI on his shoulder. Found out everything is okay and he can start therapy. So then we went to Therapy to set up time.

March 4, Wednesday - Went to Las Vegas for Dr. Appointments, this time with the ones that monitored his brain pressure in the TICU. Hunter needed to us the rest room after they took us back in the office so while he was out of the room the Dr. comes in and Hunter's gone, I told her where he was and she said, "He's walking?" she was so surprise that he was doing so well. The other Dr. in the Office that also helped with Hunter was also excited how well he has recovered with no damage from their view, and said we never had to come see them again. However they are setting us up with the Neurologist for our next appointment to see about the seizure medication to see if we can start taking him off it.

March 5, Thursday - Hunter started Physical Therapy today, he did really good, he listens and try's everything they tell him too. unlike with his dad. He doesn't even argue with them. and the we were off the Mesa View for another blood test, and of course they couldn't find us in the computer again and we had to do the registration all over again. so another day of long registration to wait in a 2nd waiting room for the test. Test was good and he'll start back up on 1/2 medication tonight.

After Blood test we were off to the eye Dr. we just can't get enough of this wonder fun. Hunter's eyes have changed 4 steps. not sure if that is normal or if it's because of the accident. I'm so tired I forget to ask some questions at times.

March 6, Friday - Kinda a quieter day. No Dr. Appointment, Hunter and I went to do Great Grandma Leavitt's hair and then took her for a long ride to Mesquite to see what has changed in the landscaping of the hills. Grandma just wanted to get out of the house for a while. We enjoyed the ride and visit with her.
And then of course he had school because we missed because of Dr. Appointments the days before.
Jessica and Jared come to visit.

March 7, Saturday, No school.... No homework..... No Dr. appointments..... But of course everyone had to go outside and pull our really big big weeds and tiny ones too, that grew so well while we were gone. It was so nice to see it get done. and I'm sure Jessica a Jared were glad they came to visit and help out. Hunter help was taking our garbage to a bigger garbage and was our water boy (somethings never change)

March 9, Monday, The weekend was kind of stressful. I think everyone was so tired that all we did was annoy each other, and too much noise going on that any little chance we have had today we have been taking naps. It's almost that everyone has hit a block wall.

We started the day off with Dr. appointment for his foot, he didn't get cleared thought thing look pretty good they want to see him one more time next Monday.

Next was Physical Therapy, a trip to Grandma Leavitt's and Grandma and Grandpa Laub's. and back to Mesquite for School. By 4:00 we had dinner and back to a nap before bed time.
