December 17

Sue is progressing really well! They've moved her down to a rehabilitation room. The doctors have decided she should finish rehab before they put back in her skull bone. She's doing everything more quickly than expected and if she continues on this path she'll be finished with rehab on the 21st and they'll do the surgery the next day. If all continues well, she should be home between Christmas and New Year.

Yesterday Brad was walking the kids and me back to our car after we came to visit. Right before he left the room he said to Sue, "If you need anything, I'll be right back. Don't try to get out of bed by yourself." She replied that she'd wait. Right as Brad was coming back into the room he caught her trying to move on her own and helped her before she fell. She got a stern lecture from Brad and the nurses and they turned on a bed alarm to prevent any future mishaps. Luckily everything turned out ok, but I couldn't help but smile a little at this event - that's the spunky, independant woman we all know and it's fun to see that part of her personality come out.
