Tomorrow is the Big Day

Hello everyone. Today has been good for Mike. Of course he had all his therapies today and tomorrow is Sunday, the day of rest and visitors. Yes, as far as it stands right now, Jesse, his 12 year old son and Angel, his top groom are coming to visit. Rochelle will be bringing them. Mike doesn't know this so he is going to be so surprised. Some other people that worked with him at Fair Hill are coming also. I will let all of you know who and all about the visit. Mike enjoys Sunday's because it is a day of rest for him and his family comes for longer visits with him. He is getting pretty good at maneuvering his wheel chair. Hey, I can't even drive (push) it good sometimes. Now that he can stand for longer periods of time he wants to take showers twice a day. It's a huge shower area with a bench to sit on if you have to. I have to tell Mike to stop scrubbing so hard when he is washing his hair and also his body. I tell him he is going to make his skin raw and he can't be that dirty. He said it just feels so good to finally get to wash in a real shower instead of the bed. Then I have to think how long it has been, almost two months since his accident. I was working on his toe nails this evening while he was watching horse racing on the T.V. I looked up at the T.V. and was watching myself and Mike said, "Hey Cathy do you think you could keep doing my toes?" I said, oh aren't we spoiled. I guess he deserves a little spoiling. Hey, he's my brother and he's alive and kicking. Mike still gets confused at times, tires easily, and gets agitated when a lot of people are around talking. He looks so good and acts well that you have to remember that he does have a severe traumatic brain injury and it is still healing. My sister is returning August 31st. Boy is she going to have a time at the airport upon leaving. Sorry got side tracked. Anyways she and some of the girls are thinking of another good fund raiser for Mike's recovery relief fund. I know of one that everyone is going to love but I can't say anything about it yet until she gets the okay from some of the key people. She thought it up and it is so cool. If you are a horse race fan your going to enjoy this one. Well enough for tonight. I'll be writing more tomorrow night. Good night everyone and God Bless.
