The Good News Fairy has visited today, hooray! My brother, PD, who has been improving wonderfully, actually will get out of the hospital on Thursday! He's likely going to gain 100% mental and physical function back, and I'm beside myself with relief and happiness. His doctors say it's amazing that he's going home at all, especially with an intellect above that of a 12-year-old. And in under a month! He's a super healer.
It's amazing to see him now - he's very close to being his old self. We sprung him from the hospital on a day pass on Sunday (who knew you could get a day pass from the hospital?) and took him shopping. He was so happy just to get OUT, he was in a great mood, and dealt with his pain and his wheelchair really well. He maneuvers his wheelchair well, too, using just his left foot. Really, it's just nice to be around him.
That sums it up, except for one thing . . .
A big shout out to PD's overactive guardian angel. May you have a long, well-deserved break.
