12 weeks ago today ... & MC finally gets to go home!

Hello FFF,  (Family, Friends and Followers) 

Fall is in the air and have we every had a more beautiful October here in the Willamette Valley, Oregon?  Yes, it's true, 12 weeks ago this morning Mike had that accident that will forever change his life and touch the lives around him.  In some ways you could consider it a gift, in other ways perhaps one would see this as a burden he will endure the rest of his life.  They say (not sure who they is) "Change your thoughts, change your world".  MC will be coming home today and he gets to decide what life will look like for him now that he's back in his own domain.  12 weeks is a long time to not sleep in your own bed, or cook in your own kitchen or even kick back and watch your favorite TV show from your favorite easy chair. 

I'll post more this evening once we take that journey out of room 3503, down elevator A, to the main entrance of Legacy Emanuel, into the SHO (MC's car) , 15 miles through town and into the suburbs to Mike's little slice of paradise on Summer Lake Dr. 

Fall really is in the air!  I tackled the leaves and grass in the back yard over the weekend.

This job took a few hours, 20 lawnmower bags full, 4 LARGE hefty bags and a lot of gas.  :-)

Only to look like this the next day!! 

And you should see it today!  But never fear, we have a young lad coming by on Saturday to gather all the leaves once again. 

Mike has been cleared by his skin Doc, bone Doc, heart Doc, OTs & PTs & his entire Trauma Team!   It took an army, a lot of will power and vision to get Mike home today!  Stay tuned for the update on his journey HOME!!! 

Thanks for all the love and support thus far!  As you know this is just the beginning of the "next" chapter.
