2 weeks in Montana

Well, I've kind of forgetten about my blog since we'd left California. I had lots of time to write on it while sitting in Will's hospital room and not so much time here.
To update you; we arrived here in Kalispell on Sept 13th, it was actually the early morning of the 14th. The flights from California were long and difficult for Will, as we thought they may be, but we finally made it. I was so glad to get him back here but just a little apprehensive about taking care of him full time and what that would mean to both of us. I can't say that it's been a piece of cake but it gets better every day.
A day in the current life of Will and Mom starts with an "I'm ready" text from Will letting me know he's ready to get out of bed. That's usually around 8am. He can not get out of bed without putting his back brace on and that he can't do with only one functioning arm. So I go up with the necessary bathing acoutraments, washcloth, towel, soap and HE gives himself a bath while I wait downstairs. He calls when he's done and I go up and help him get his shirt on and brace over that. I go back downstairs and he finishes getting dressed and then comes downstairs. We have coffee and breakfast and then he spends the days mostly on his computer, or reading on the front porch. He goes to PT 3 times a week now, and has some sort of Dr's appt at least once a week. Last week he started spending a few hours in the morning at a coffee house that I drop him off at. It is so great for him to get out and spend time with other people.
Around 10pm we are both ready to get some sleep so he goes up and finishes whatever he needs to do and then I go up and help him get the brace off and get situated in bed, and that's a day.
The hard part for both of us has been the return of an adult son to the care of his mother. In the early days here that was accompanied by lots of pain, both mental and physical, for Will. And some pain, emotional mostly, for me to have to see my son go through all of this, and to be totally honest, the loss of my previously enjoyed freedom. We did have some flat out yelling fits at each other, I'm sorry to say, that we both regret, but I am happy to report that we have now adjusted and things are now rolling along smoothly.
Will has at least another 3 weeks here before he can lose the brace and start getting back to his normal life. He is missing the current semester at Biola where he was set to graduate in Dec. and so is taking some online classes here to at least make some of the time up. He now plans to graduate in June and so will hopefully get back on track with the new semester in January. He wants to go back to Cali at the end of the 3 weeks and maybe get an internship there. We're praying that will all work out for him.
If you are reading this, I appreciate so much your prayers for Will and for our family. I now that they have been a huge reason for the quick recovery he is making. Thank you. I will be posting another update next week?
