Out of the Prison Cell

It is hard to believe that 2 weeks ago today Ian was fighting for his life and we did not know if he was going to make it. Tonight - we are all home and get to sleep in our own beds under the same roof! Thank GOD!

Ian worked really hard today at therapy about 6 hours. At the end of it all we had a meeting with all his therapist and doctors. The progress is awesome they all agree. He still has work to do but considering everything he continues to be a MIRACLE. We took him back to the ICU before we left the hospital, all the nurses and doctors could not believe it was Ian. Some of them had tears in their eyes. His ICU doctor hugged him and called Ian her MIRACLE. Wouldn't you know it, as we were grabbing our bags from the ICU family center, who did we run into? JAHAN! She gave Ian a big hug as though she has known him forever.

We came home to all sorts of Welcome Home packages - thank you all for all your prayers and support the last 2 weeks. Please keep praying as Ian works hard to prepare himself for day to day life and school. Outpatient Therapy starts tomorrow morning! Good night all and God Bless!
