Good news! Mykey came home last night!!
He's feeling good and slowly getting around more and more. It's amazing what home can do for your recovery and spirits! Your good wishes have been amazing and he is so thankful.
He knows he needs time to heal and have everything come back to "normal" so he's just going with the flow for now. Not so sure he'll remain so patient after a week or two, but we'll see!
Brucifer - good luck with your appointment with Dr. Mattox! Let us know how it goes and what you decide. We have a follow up on Friday with he and Dr. Olson. I can tell you, we cannot say enough good things about them both! They were great to me (and obviously Michael too!) the day of surgery, and thereafter. We feel very fortunate to have found them and to live in Atlanta so close to Emory. Even in the hospital, every nurse I spoke with said that if they ever needed brain surgery, Dr. Olson would be the one! He really is fantastic, and the nicest man. And those who knew Dr. Mattox were equally as complimentary (although in ICU we were under Dr. Olson's care so they were most familiar with him.) Also, the new Neuro ICU floor at Emory is quite amazing. I think it's been open about 4 months. Felt like we got the presidential suite! Even I had my own room connected to his.
So thanks again everyone...Mykey will be online soon.
