Was one Brock Perry all nestled in his bed.
Well actually he is sitting in his chair watching Dexter.
We had a family Christmas Eve dinner in the nurses lounge tonight. Definitely different than our traditional Christmas Eve but the four of us enjoyed it. Dad and Vance just headed home to make sure Santa stops. Brock gets to go home for 8 hours tomorrow to see what he left for him.
Brock has decided to stay in rehab for at least another week. His goal is to improve as much as possible and he plans on going home on New Years Eve. That is the plan he shared with us tonight while we were eating. I think some friends are planning on visiting and he has motivation to get home then. I also think he wants the house to himself (and friends). I am not sure but I believe he was trying to tell the rest of us we need to find our own plans for that evening :O)
He stood by himself in the parallel bars today! His face is still very lopsided and his speech is still different. I see big differences in his upper body strength and he moves his legs by himself to help when he is being transfered or trying to move to the side of the bed. He still doesn't take steps and he can not stand on his own to help when moving him around but he doesn't seem to be dead weight like he did there for awhile. He still has trouble with fine motor skills, it gets frustrating quickly.
We Perry's wish all of you a Merry Christmas. Even though this has been the hardest two months of our lives, we still feel very blessed to be loved by so many. Thank you for your thoughts and prayers.
May God bless you all the days of your lives,
The Perry's
