Post tournament 10/27/23

  I haven't gotten around to posting yet this week. Justin's team played last Saturday morning and earned a spot in the State Cup final! They played Monday night at the Real Salt Lake stadium! The big pitch under the lights. What a cool experience and what an honor to be there!

 I'm so grateful to all of Justin's friends that came to support him! We gave a big cheer when he took the pitch. 🎉😘⚽️

Thank you to our whole team and their families who care for Justin so much and to Steve and my friends that came to support him also! ❤️ Lisa kept saying "just 2 months ago we were outside the hospital praying". When he couldn't walk or talk yet. 2 months. 

The game did not go the way we wanted. Enough about that. 

I'm so grateful for each experience and person joining us in this road to recovery.

Improving & Tired 8/30/23

 Justin had a big day today with 2 sessions of Speech and 2 sessions of OT in addition to at least 30 minutes of PT. He was very tired and rightly so, but definitely adjusting and working hard.  I had forgotten we saw a nurse in the cafeteria last night that helped him in the ICU during the unhook unplug transport test come back rehook replug phase. He was taken aback that Justin had walked into the cafeteria to order food! As part of his therapy and "get outta here" plan, he is cooking breakfast for his OT tomorrow! We let you know how it goes. Jovi saw Justin for the first time tonight in his new room and was amazed at his ability to walk and talk. She is still bossing like a big sis and he's the cookie stealing little bro.

Evening 8/22/23

 Tonight I (kim) went through rounds with the doctors.  He is on the blood thinners, actually call them anticoagulants please. 😉 That should help for any potential blood clots.    I'm typing this on my phone which is a pain  So I'm going to put a number next to the things to pray for because I can't underline.😶 What they saw in the neck with the ultrasound they did not see on a CT.  They did see some fluid in the lungs, which can be normal for someone that's not moving much. Hopefully PT/OT will help tomorrow if they can 1 get him up. 👍 they're also installing the 2 pic line under sedation (not anesthesia) in the morning to be able to administer meds and draw blood more easily.   Fever and Blood Pressure still seem under control. 3 Sodium is still low  But with the pic line they can give him the stronger dose again.  4 Please pray for Justin's mind and spirit. I was able to understand he was asking me what happened, and it makes ...

Big Step! 8/28/23

 Well, good news! Justin managed to get himself sprung from the ICU!!! He is in a room in the Neuro unit with a window with a lovely view of the wall next door. 👍 But it is progress! He is very disappointed not to be going home, but this step in the right direction will help tremendously! He has seen OT & Speech therapy this morning and is now taking a break playing a video game while waiting for lunch, then PT.  He is not quite ready for visitors. We will keep you posted.
