Hi everyone

 

I just checked the J room and found that Mama J had just posted a bit earlier. Here is her post.

Hello all! Kyle had a great weekend made his first trip home and to Morell, got to see his dog Riley and see his car very emotional for him as hasn't seen home since March 8. He continues to make progress and each day gets so much stronger.

 

Way to go Kyle! Yep five months is a long time and especially when you are only nineteen.

 

I talked to Kyle's family at Tim Horton's in Montague the other day and they confirmed that he is doing well. He is learning to transfer to his dad's truck in order to do a bit more traveling.

 

It is great to know that he is gaining enough mobility to begin recapturing a measure of independence.

 

His attitude has been a big factor in his recovery as is the support of family and friends.

 

BTW Is it my imagination or is there more activity in the blog section lately? It seems to me that there are more posts being posted to blogs.

 

To those that are active and posting, I say Bravo to you and keep up the great work. It is encouraging to everyone when we see the level of activity increasing.

 

To those that may not have a blog I encourage you to come on in the water is just fine. If you are having trouble setting your blog up get a teen to come help until you get a few posts under your belt and feel comfortable putting up your posts. Once your blog is set up you can post as often as you want. That way you can keep all of us up to date on what is going on in your life. Some members may wish to post comments back to you and it becomes a real interactive thing.

 

Take care everyone...and have a great day.

 

Smiles :)

hey Gary:

 

thanks for updating us about Kyle. 5 months is long time. I remember just after month in ICU & 3 weeks in rehab I had gone nuts crying & drove my hubby & doctors nuts questioning when will I go home. Though looking back realized that staying as inpatient in rehab hospital was the best thing one can do for themselves you get great therapy. & that is the time gains are significant. so Kyle even though it feels like long trecherous stay at hospital, get as much as possible that will will help you live your life better at home.

 

Gary as you know I am blog junkie from the day I joined this site. I am able to keep up with the blogs and friends I made through blogs then message board. I thank blogs for my turnaround from whyme and enjoying life one more time.

Hi Asha

 

Thanks for your great comment. It is because of stroke buddies like you that we are all truly encouraged to rise to greater challenges in our recovery from stroke.

 

I just realized how long it has been since my last post and checked the J room for more posts.

 

So I had better go do a new post to bring everyone up to date eh.

 

Smiles :)
