Craig's Road To Recovery - Monday May 9 2016
Well I last stated that there would be no new postings until Monday as Craig was to rest over the weekend in preparation for his final 2 surgeries. Almost as soon as I posted that Craig surprised us with news that he was being released from ICU. Then he puts out his first post ever and it goes viral. 20,000+ views , hundreds of likes and comments. He also has started rehabilitation and had a surprise visit from Little A, his favorite kitty. Who knows what he will accomplish today?
On the surgery side, he is now scheduled to have his final surgeries tomorrow, Tuesday. The one day delay was because the medical team had a very busy weekend with emergencies. One thing is for sure Craig will continue to surprise us with the pace of his recovery. All the great prayers and well wishes are paying off. In closing today, I want to note that tonight the track medical team that so quickly and skillfully came to Craig's aid at the accident site, is bringing him his favorite pizza for dinner!
Today was a HUGE day for Craig.
His AWESOME physical therapist, Lynn, worked with Craig to get him into a wheelchair and take him outside. I couldn't be prouder of him. Everyday he amazes me with his spirit, courage, and thankfulness to everyone that has and is caring for him.
To end the day, the incredible medical team that extracted Craig from the car, got him stabilized in the ambulance and ready for the life flight, delivered him pizza and visited with him for awhile. I can't begin to express my thanks to Jon, Gary, Stephen, Rob, Pat and Karen as well as the others that were his ANGELS.
