Day 1 & 2 - Back in the Lair

Hello everyone - here is the update on what has been happening with MC since he arrived home mid'day on the 23rd.  It was a beautiful sunny day on the 23rd and 24th.  Mike took advantage of that, but today, the 25th was a bit cooler and cloudy.  Mike stayed hunkered down in the house.  He even took a 2 hour morning nap.   But here is what happened yesterday on his first full day home. 

Celebrating 3 generations.  Katelyn came over with Baby Brayden and I picked up Papa so we could all visit together. Brayden is just over 2 months old.  He sure brings a big smile to Mike's face. 

OH NO!  Not sure what thoughts were going through this little man's head, but he sure had something going on.  And YES he broke out into a full on explosion. Time for Mommy! 

Mommy's always know exactly what to do!  Nice to have Katie home. 

Cul-de-sac neighbors Ann and Kelsie came over to visit Mike & Katie.   The Mattila's also came over.  Later in the evening Toni Hoff and Steve Schwab stopped in too. 

Happy, Happy Grandpa - Brayden too! 

Look at this smile - need we say more.  (He was smiling at Mommy)

Next came our picnic in the backyard!  The was perfect! 

Kidderz thought so too! 

Leaves, leaves are everywhere.  Plus it looks like Mike needs a haircut!  LOL

Happy and content.  (both of them) I don't really need to say too much, but you can see that Mike is happy at home and feeling very relaxed in his easy chair. 

So here's Toni giving Mike a well needed haircut.  She cut it at the hospital 6 weeks ago the night before the free flap surgery.  Thanks Toni - you ROCK and you did all that for a hug and a glass of vino.  What a dear sweet friend.   I will have to add that YES, MC's foot is actually purple .  He sort of expired shortly after this picture.  Expired as in "needed to get off that stool and get his foot elevated".  I think both Steve and Toni were panicking - as they should have been.  Mike was turning white.  But we handled it all well.  

Today my niece Lauren and her puppy, Lilly came over for the day to create a spreadsheet with all the hospital bills.  Who is billing what and so on.  Yes we needed a spreadsheet!  We are up to 27 billers so far.  BTW, the puppy Lilly didn't help much with the spreadsheet.  Lauren did a great job and we are so thankful for her skills and the time she gave us.  Thanks Lolo! 

  Overall - life is good and Mike is home!  We have our challenges but we are figuring out how to get up the stairs and in and out of a shower.   Mike has a lot of skills to perfect, but we both know that progress will be made daily!  Please give a call and come by to visit.  We'd love to see you!  

With Love, S&M out from Summer Lake 

HUGS!!!!!
