June 22nd 7:20 am
Father's day was for sure a day to remember. The kids and I went to get Acey and to take him out of the Hospital for a few hours. We ended up going home to Dietrich to surprise his Dad for Father's day. We got into his parents home right before they got home from church and put a sign on Acey that said, "HAPPY FATHER'S DAY". It was priceless to see their faces when they opened the door and saw Acey in their living room. Then it was time for dinner and he wanted to eat with the family at the table, the only problem with that was there is one step up to the kitchen, so he wouldn't be able to use his power chair. So his Dad and brother in-laws grabbed his arms and Acey was able to walk up the step and into the Kitchen. It was so fun the whole day just watching him with the biggest smile on his face. That was the first time in 4 months that he was out of the hospital and able to do something that he wanted to do. We then went around and saw the farm and all the crops. It was absolutely the best day ever! Today Acey will be having another swallow test to see if his throat is strong enough to take out his trach. Keep your fingers crossed, we are so hoping to get that stinkin trach out. If he does pass he will get to out tomorrow. We have a projected coming home date which is July 1st. We will be having a huge party so more details to come and everyone is invited!!!! Everyday he gets stronger and we can not wait to have him home!!

ReplyDeleteDitto on the updates. I enjoy reading them, especially ones like the one you just posted!!!! :) My, that one made me smile from ear to ear!!! Tears also came to my eyes. So delighted for Hubert and for Acey. I was imagining every moment as I read thru the post about the Father's Day activities. I am so pleased to hear that Acey enjoyed his time while there and out of the hospital...with a smile on his face the entire time. Sending up prayers for the throat test to go well so that he can get that ol' trach out. May blessings continue to be bestowed upon you. Excited that you will be "home" soon, maybe even July 1st!!! Words cannot even begin to express how much this will mend our hearts that have ached for all of the Shaw family for these past months. You have come so far, Acey and truly believe that you will continue to make great strides. I have faith in you. :)Love, Dona
