Today we went to the hospital for another expansion. Kevin always does really well with it and even the PA mentioned about how well he does. It's always so nice to go to the burn clinic (I mean...if you HAVE to go somewhere like that, lol) at BAMC because everyone is just so wonderful to Kevin.
After our appointment, we went to the burn ward and visited all of the nurses. Joel also had surgery today so we checked on him too. He came through it just fine. Did I mention that Joel was discharged for the first time in 2 1/2 years? Yes! They got an apartment here for the next 6 months or so and he is just ecstatic to be in a home environment.
So anyway, we are gearing up for the plate to be put back in his head. We are anticipating the surgery to take place the week of Aug 22 and everything appears (stressing that word) to be in order for it. The CT scan was done, so the new plate should be on order and our burn doc saw our neurosurgeon in the elevator today and he said all is going well.
Personally - I can't wait for this surgery to happen. And I can say with 150% surety that Kevin can't wait either!

Hello Leslie and Kevin,
Great news!!!
Good to hear about Joel too.
Has it really been 2-1/2 years for the both of them?
Guess times truly flys when one is so busy that one can NOT look at a clock/calendar.
