The battle wound. We counted 40 staples.
The unveiling (dun, dun, dun)
Walking the stairs with the therapists.
This is the first picture he where he was smiling and probably the first time he'd smiled in 5 days. You can tell he's feeling much better today. Must be that he is going home.
Matt and Vince comparing battle wounds in the picture below.
We have officially been given the word that we get to go home today!! Not sure when, but today. The physical therapist cleared him after he climbed a few steps. The neuro nurse came in and removed his bandages which show some pretty good battle wounds. We are waiting for pharmacist and discharge nurse to arrive shortly. We've been given a list of instructions on how to care for our patient. His staples can be removed in 10 days following surgery which is this weekend. He will be on somewhat bed rest for a week or two to allow his body more time to heal (he did just have brain surgery), and he still needs to be cautious of his sodium levels and lots of other minor details to make sure we don't end up back in the ER at home.
