6 weeks ago from this time I was waiting to hear if Kevin made it through surgery. 6 weeks!!! If you asked me the morning of September 6th what I was doing the remaining weeks of maternity leave I wouldve told you Id be cuddling with Paul on the couch. Enjoying the last baby that Kevin and I were going to have before I went back to work. We were excited to continue our life now as a family of five. I wouldve never imagined the last weeks of maternity leave would be by my husbands hospital bed praying for his life. Well never get these days back. The evaluation process started today and I love his team of Doctors and Therapists. They mean business and theyre not letting Kevin take the easy way out. Hes going to work and theyre going to make sure of that. Each team comes in and does a Neuro Exam. Basically they inflict pain on certain body parts to see how he reacts. I never thought Id be encouraging someone to hurt my husband but if they want a response from him then they need to pinch, pull, squeeze, etc. Obviously Ive been following along and watching Kevins exam whenever possible and I have to say I was proud of him today. I thought he did really well. He had purposeful movement which is good. He especially didnt like getting squeezed in the corner of his eyes. He made a nasty face at the doctor that looked like he was going to growl at him. Any type of exam exhausts Kevin and he ends up falling asleep for awhile. Hopefully over the next few weeks he will get stimulated enough that hell stay awake longer. I was suctioning Kevins mouth today because of all the excess saliva and out of no where Kevin brought his hand up toward his mouth. So I told him I was going to have him help me. I grabbed his hand and positioned the suction thing in his hand and moved his hand like he was doing it himself. I was SO proud of him. I am definitely his biggest cheerleader. Those that have kids know when you start potty training and you have to act all ridiculous doing dances and cheering jumping up and down. Yup thats pretty much me right now when Kevin does the smallest thing. I figure either the positive energy will wake him up and if not then me annoying the hell out of him will ;) Happy Friday! Heres to another positive day tomorrow. start everyday with a new hope, leave bad memories behind and have faith for a better tomorrow
