Guest guest Posted October 29, 2003 Report Share Posted October 29, 2003 Hi Louise, Sending prayers for . Glad he is getting the love and comfort of home before the big day. May he has a speedy recovering afterwards. On the furniture move at his residential home where he stays at. Is there anyway to hammer it down or against the wall and where he will not get upset. Gosh! The things to watch out for. Did the doctor informed y'all that it was due to moving the furniture around? Do you think he saw saw someone moving the furniture? Maybe it is part of the sensory crave when moving the furniture. Lots of why or how to work around this issue, may there a solution turn out soon. Take care of yourself as I know you're the best person to nurse him back to health. Hugs! Irma,15,Ds/ASD > (41) has his surgery tomorrow afternoon for the epigastric hernia.

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2003 Report Share Posted October 29, 2003 Hi Louise, I hope 's surgery goes well. Is the surgery an out patient procedure or will he have to stay in the hospital? How long is the recovery period? Is he happy to stay at home with you or does he miss his group home? Praying for a speedy recovery.

Dr. said in a month he would be back to his usual self. He has been happy to be here. Last night we took him over to his house to pick up meds for the week, he didn't seem interested while there. Years past when there were staff changes etc. he would want to come home with us. We only did that a couple times and he was happy to go back. This is different, probably because of the pain. Next week plan to start integrating him back into the workshop, luckily near us. Then the residence. We are letting him make the choice. We will handle it day to day and see how it goes.
