Home, Sweet Home...

Sorry everyone that we haven't posted for over a week. We came home last Tuesday, Oct 26th and the internet has been down at our apt and we haven't really been out much so we apologize that its been a while! Coming home was so great. We have loved it- there is just no place like home. At first we didn't know what to do because it was so weird not being at the hospital! The Relief Society has been so great and has brought us dinner every night, which really helps so much. It has been really busy for us since we've been home. Jed has been doing therapy every day with Homecare called Rehab Without Walls. They have been great- but Jed is the one who has really been amazing. He works so hard and has come so far since we've come home from the hospital. He has been able to shower, get dressed, and do pretty much everything on his own. He really isn't supposed to yet according to the doctor, but Jed won't hear it. He wants to be as independant as possible and as soon as possible. He's almost sounding normal, his voice is just a little tiny bit off still. I can't believe how far he has come. He's almost back- maybe he's in Provo now :)
The 2 biggest obtstacles for him right now is getting the left arm to move and sleeping at night. His arm is coming along but really slow. Because he can't move it, he can't get comfortable in bed. But last night we came to stay at his parents house for a couple of days while I attend some training at work and he finally slept good! This last Monday Jed made a fist in physical therapy with a little resistance! Then later that night his friends Cody and Aaron came over. Aaron brought him a protein shake and he drank it all up. Then Cody brought in his AR-15 for Jed to hold. Its amazing what a gun can do for a guy- Jed was holding it with his right hand in his lap and held up his left arm to support it! He just wanted to hold it so bad he willed it! We were so excited with the progress he made that day with his arm.
His walking is incredible- you wouldn't even know he couldn't walk a couple of weeks ago. He was so excited to go with me to take our little guy trick or treating. Jed dressed up as an injured soldier. He dressed up in an army uniform and had gauze around his head where his surgery was and had his sling on with his cane. Ammon was a little devil and was so cute. I can't figure out how to post pictures from our video camera so I will try to get everything up soon.
We still can't believe the support Jed has gotten from his work- they have been so incredible and continue to send cards, gifts, and messages. I also have been blessed to have such a supportive boss and have been able to take all this time off thanks to the help of others for filling in. We just feel so blessed.
We are so grateful for the progress Jed is making and know that it is an answer to all the prayers that are said in his behalf. We have never felt alone. Thank you all so much for the love, support, and prayers. We will continue to keep you posted!
