JUST JOKING ACEY IS NOT HOME! This is the story of our life. We get our hopes up thinking that we are going to have him home and then something always happens. Which isn't always a bad thing, we are very grateful for all the rehab he can get. The night before we were to come home for good they informed us that Acey still had some money left for rehab, so he stayed to get all the help he can. Acey is improving so much each day. He is walking with a walker and with one person holding him up which is so amazing. He walked about 170 feet yesterday! Plus he is eating so well! He is actually eating real food, or at least food that looks like food. So now they are thinking that we will be home this coming Wednesday, but who really knows. It will just be a surprise to us all when we finally are home to stay. But here is a funny story that I hope you all enjoy: We had to best day ever on the first of July when we thought Acey was going to be home to stay. After the party at the park we were on our way home when Acey asked me to stop and get two candy bars a Hershey's chocolate bar and Reese's peanut butter cups, so I stopped on got them for him. Later we were home just lying around and he said, "Hon where are the candy bars?" I go get them and break off a tiny little piece any put it in his mouth and he is just loving it. Now he is not suppose to have anything but soft foods. So we are already pushing it. So then he says, "Can you go get me some ice?" so, like a wonderful spouse that I am I put the candy bars above his head on the couch and I go into the kitchen to get the ice. All of sudden everyone is screaming JALYN JALYN!! I go running in there and Acey grabs the candy bar pretends like he is going to give his nephew a piece and then shoves the whole thing in his mouth. So, by the time I got in there Acey's has this huge smile on his face plus he laughing (which his laugh is pretty funny now since he's been sick it's completely different) because he knows I would never let him have that much. So I said, "WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU DOING?!!!!!" And he just laughed and laughed. Later I said here's your ice. He says, I didn't want the ice I was just trying to get you away so I could eat the candy bar!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!!!! You could of choked, aspirated. He didn't care all that was on his mind was the stinking candy bar and how good it was going to taste. Pretty funny now but at the time I wanted to choke him!!
