Cheers!

I cannot believe it's Friday already - our first week at home as flown by and I've only posted once! Matt's going to PT three times a week and we'll add speech and OT therapies next week. With outpatient therapy, they'll be giving him a lot of homework to do, so he's going to be busy!

Matt had a CT scan on Tuesday and we met with his surgeon for what appears to be the last time. He was completely amazed with Matt's progress so far and said that most of the recovery happens within the first year, so Matt still has 7 months to gain back more function. He said it also takes about a year for the bone to grow back together completely so Matt should avoid any blows to the head for at least a year (and hopefully for the rest of his life!). And then as we were getting ready to leave, Matt got the best news - he leaned over to me and stage whispered "beer" - and his surgeon laughed and said don't tie one on, but you can have an occasional beer. So raise your glasses to recovery!
