I wanted to update you today on Handsome's condition. While I was at work yesterday, our younger son took his dad to an appointment with the surgeon for a follow-up. The news was fantastic.
The surgical site is healing well, and the CAT scan he had done last Friday revealed that there is only a small remnant left in the brain that will assimilate back into his body with no ill effects. His brain "tilt" has nearly righted itself, so for all intents and purposes, Handsome is nearly back to normal.
His occupational therapist said he's already reached the benchmark they strive for following a surgery like his, so the rest of those appointments were cancelled. He'll see what the physical therapist has to say later this week.
Oh, and the best part from Handsome's point of view, is that the surgeon cleared him to be able to drive again. No more relying on this ol' ball and chain to get around. He's independent once again, and happy as all get-out about it.
We're both thrilled with his progress so far, and know it will only improve from here. All our prayers were heard and answered. Thank you to all who lifted them on his behalf. We're both very grateful to you. God is Good.
The Phoenix prayer warriors are full of gratitude tonight!

God is indeed very good! It is wonderful to read that he has made such amazing progress so quickly! I'm sure your "steps are a little lighter" now 😊
ReplyDeleteDear Lois:
DeleteWe absolutely agree! You're so right that my steps (and heart) are lighter now. I've said I believe it was a miracle that we were so fortunate to find and treat it early. It could have been so different. Thank you, dear.

Amen! I love it when He answers prayers the way I think they should be answered! Now, I know when he doesn’t it is for a reason unbeknownst to me. But in this case, Super YAY!! I am so happy for both of you! Thank you God! I love that your home will be filled with less concern. With a happy heart, Bobbi
ReplyDeleteDear Bobbi:
Delete"Super YAY!!" is right! I know He hears our prayers and answers them as He sees fit. Like you, I'm so grateful that this answer aligned with our desires. Thank you so much, my dear.

God is good indeed! All thanks to Him for Handsome's recovery going so well. And to you for your great nursing care.
ReplyDeleteDear MA:
DeleteWe're so very blessed. God gets all the credit for Handsome's great good health following this scare. I do my best to follow doctor's orders, and make sure my heartbeat does the same. We've been richly rewarded with all this good news. Thank you, dearest.

All The Time!!! So good to hear of 'Handsome's' recovery!... & I know your heart is resting easier too! xoxo
ReplyDeleteDear Bren:
DeleteI agree! We continue to get good news from the doctors, and I am so very grateful. You're right. I can breathe again...and I'm sleeping so much better now. Thank you, dear friend.

Yes God is Good and this fantastic news is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteBeing cleared to drive is huge.
My prayers will continue.

Dearest Shirley:
DeleteWe both continue to smile at our great, good fortune for his health. He couldn't wait to be given the "green light" to drive again. I suspect he wasn't much of a fan having to be chauffeured around all the time...even if I am a steller driver. lol Thank you for your continued prayers, my friend. They're greatly appreciated.

Sherry of createology: Handsome must have been strong before this and that is why he is recovering so well. Oh the freedom of driving. I wasn’t allowed to drive for four months after my health scare and it just about crushed me. I understand Handsome’s elation! Treasure every moment my dear friend.
ReplyDeleteDear Sherry:
DeleteHe's always been pretty healthy. The thing is that whenever we've had a health scare, he's never really had symptoms that we notice (until this time), and he regularly walks the dogs and stays active. I'm sure that was to his advantage. If you weren't driving for four months, you know exactly how he was feeling being carted around by me. Of course, I didn't mind one bit."It's what we do." Thank you, dear.
