Day One Hundred Twenty-Five to One Hundred Thirty-One

Day 125-131 (Aug. 17-23)

It's our last weekend at Craig! We are getting close to home.  I fly out with a team from Craig on Monday to get things organized at the house and set up supplies.  Brian takes a MedFlight home on Tuesday and should arrive in St. Louis around 1:00 in the afternoon. 

This is definitely a bittersweet goodbye.  While we can't wait to get home (Brian hasn't been home since January), we've met the most amazing staff and families.  For the past few days, there have been final farewells to nurses, techs, and therapists.  So tough and a constant lump in the throat.

Craig Hospital has prepared us for our next step in the journey. Brian can direct his care so well and I've learned nursing and respiratory skills.  We cannot thank the staff enough for helping us through a really hard time.

Although we leave Craig, Brian will receive OT and PT.  We will start out in the home and then hopefully transition to outpatient once we get settled in.  With Brian having an incomplete injury, we continue to hope for progress and recovery with time.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the love and support you give us.  I will update everyone once Brian lands on Tuesday!  #heinestrong
