I want to thank everyone who has posted here. This has been such a frightening experience and it's been hard to know where to turn.

What I really want is a crystal ball to see what the future holds. I would have enjoyed my Christmas a lot more if I could have seen forward to today -- he is that much better. On a daily basis, I treat him like someone who is not injured. He washes dishes, walks the dogs, and is planning an expansion to our patio -- we'll be doing the work ourselves.

It sounds like the key advice is to remain vigilant, enjoy today, and take tomorrow as it comes. I will do all of those things. Thanks again, from the bottom of my heart.
