I saw the start of a rainbow in the sky this morning as I was driving to the hospital. I found it a little strange and I took this as a sign. Rainbows bring the promise that the troubles of today will pass, the optimism to hold strong in your faith, and vision of fresh beginnings. I hope that this is a sign of a new chapter beginning for Joey.
Joey looks significantly better today then he did early this week. The doctors are not planning to make too many big changes. They are keeping him comfortable and allowing him time to rest. He has been squeezing our hands and trying to open his puffy eyes. He knows we are here for him and I truly think that the amount of time that Eric and I have spent with him has contributed to him getting better. Joey has a lot of people in his cheering section and he is fighting to stay with us everyday. The road to recovery is going to be very long, but we are happy to see him making some progress.
Joey has kept us on our toes, and walking on eggshells. It has been frustrating to see him make progress and then take significant steps back. This journey has been very unpredictable and has proven to be much longer and harder then expected. Eric and I are managing the best we can. We have been lucky to have so many people willing to help and we are trying our best to care for ourselves. In the midst of everything, we have been able to find some balance in our lives. We are adapting to the curve balls that Joey keeps throwing our way and we are trying to maintain some form of stability in our lives.
While there has been improvement from where things were on Sunday, we're still in a very sensitive state. We are thankful for the loving support and encourage everyone to keep the positive energy coming our way. It has certainly helped.
