Hi everyone and Happy Summer. I hope everyone is enjoying your summer. I took today and went for a ride to Philly, Pa. I felt Mike Is in good hands at the rehab and I felt like i could go for a ride with our Son Mike. We had a short but sweet trip to Philly to try a cheese steak. We did this before but Mike was along for the ride the last time. I sure did miss him. I do not feel right going and having a good time without Mike. I talked to Mike a few times and he was so happy that I was doing something for me for a change. Mike is doing about the same No change at all. He was doing pretty good until his fall, and now he can not even stand on his legs at all. His knees are still so sore. I asked the nurse to see if he could go see a doctor ( ortho) They agreed. He goes Thursday. He was suppose to go to get drained on Thursday of this past week but the nurse got that messed up and the ambulance did not pick us up, so he goes Tuesday. Finally the doctor has stepped up to the plate and is watching Mike closely. He is not progressing so he should be coming home in the next 2 weeks. If the ortho doctor is able to give him a injection and that takes some of the pain away, then he may be there a bit longer. I was told in the beginning that for every one day of no movement it will take 3 to 4 days of exercise to get back what he lost. He has been in there now for over a month. Please continue to pray for Mike, he sure could use it. Thank you all so much. Brenda and Mike
