Christmas was good

The hospital staff were all really nice. Luc is doing so well, he was able to squeeze my hand with his left hand(the one he couldnt move). He is wheeling himself around pretty good(pulling himself along with his right leg and trying with his left one as well, but not as much or as well). He didnt ramble much when i was there. For example, he didnt say the word "executive" once the whole time i was there. For those of you that have missed some of my posts, he was using a random word to fill in the blanks for a while there. He didnt do that once the whole time i was there.

It was so sweet. :) I held Karma on his knee and asked if he wanted to give her a little bouncy horsey ride on his knee. So he gently bounced her and would keep reaching out to her then pull his hand back.. I asked him if he wanted her off his knee and he said" No, i just dont want to drop her":) He is being such a good daddy.
He tried to put her sucky in her mouth for her, but he couldnt reach her at the angle she was at to him. He saw me play with her nosey and reached up and did it too. He was always soooooo very gentle with her. I was really impressed. I helped him open his xmas gifts, he read all the cards. Then he tried to help open Karma's gifts for her, so she wouldnt be able to eat the paper :)

Talked to the Rec. Therapist while i was there. He came in on boxing day with his two little poodles. One of them licked Karma and she started to cry :) it was cute. He has set up an email addy for Luc. Friday before i left he emailed me a message. He did really well for only using one hand. There were some random letters and numbers in there but for the most part he kept on track with his message. And apparently the rec therapist was impressed with how well luc did on the computer. I guess luc sat and played solitaire for about 45 mins one day. :)

LOL.. at one point while i was there, i had gotten luc a coffee. My parents called my cell and we talked with them.. Luc was done talking to my dad so he handed me the phone and wanted his coffee..(which i was holding for him) I mentioned to luc that the lid wasnt on properly, and my dad asked what was going on. I told him i was just helping luc with his coffee and holding it for him. So my dad laughed and called me lucs coffee bitch.. :)
i laughed and luc asked what my dad had said.. so i told him.. Luc laughed and said" If i called you my bitch you would make sure i hit the floor" :)
lol
He still has a really good sense of humor even with all his injuries.

Any way. Lots of good things happened while i was there. Got absolutely no pics unfortunatly. Forgot the camera.. got a little video footage of him opening his and karma's presents but ended up at the end of the tape :(
will post some pics of Karma on her site soon :P

Going to Edmonton for Christmas

So if i dont see or talk to anyone until i get back, merry christmas.
Hope everyone has a wonderful day and gets what they want :)
Will post an update when i have one.. also, gonna post more pics of Karma, hopefully with her daddy and me, oncei get back.. probably on her blog though. :)
Take care everyone.

Talked to Luc's Phsycologis(or psyciatrist){btw my spelling is horrible!!}

Any way. She told me that Luc is pretty much par for the course as far as his mental state. This is the time when they start to get down and very confused.. hence the fact that he has been making stuff up. He was even mad at me last night for "denying our son ", tyler or trevor or something like that. lol.. Yeah he thinks we have 2 kids.. and one of them is a boy who is older than Karma.
Only temporary though.. thank god.
He seems to be doing well.. the nurses i have spoken with seem really nice too.
so, anyways..
not much going on in my life at the moment. Got guardianship and stuff of Luc. So now i can cut down on things like cable to save some money.. possibley get a vehicle..
oh well.. more later.

Talked to Luc today...

I had spoken to his nurse earlier in the day.. she said that they had to put a net of some sort around his bed so he wouldnt climb out and hurt himself.... since he has been trying to get out..
So when i spoke to him on the phone i asked him if he was trying to get out of bed. He said yeah. I asked if they put the netting up so he wouldnt get up, fall over, and hit his head. He said " yeah, but i screwed them!" so of course i asked him how he screwed them.. his response was"because i didnt hit my head!" lol
So innocent in some ways. I told him i missed him a bunch. He said that he has been missing me lots, for like the past 3 days. :)
I love him..
When I was about to get off the phone with him, he told me to say hi to everyone for him. I told him to behave and no matter how much he wants to do or not to do something, he has to do what the nurses and doctors tell him to do. He said he would try. I guess (when i called the other day) his nurse told me he wasnt wanting to eat much. I told them to tell him that his wife wants him to eat so his brain can get better and he can come home. Well the nurse told him that this morning during breakfast, and he told her" thats funny, thats what my wife always says". :)
so his memory is getting a bit better..
He also asked to call his wife this morning..
He asked me today when im gonna come to see him.. I told him as soon as i can afford to.
He must be lonely there.. but at least his mom and fred are there as of tonight(in edmonton) and they are gonna be there till monday (when their flight leaves). So he will have some company.:)
from people who care about him.

Hubby gone :( :)

:) yay!! this means he will be getting even better from here on in.
got up at 6:30 am to go see him before they shipped him out. Karma did good for getting woken up to run out of the house before 7am..
I told him he should say bye to his baby for now since he wont see her for quite a while. So he said bye sweety, daddy is gonna miss you. he even cuddled with her on his bed for a few minutes.. I got pissed off at one of the nurses.. He said he had to pee so she came in and just undid his attends and gave him the little portable urinal but left him lying down.. she didnt bother to get him sitting up or nothing. She also said that if he didnt go that she would just let him go in his attends and change him when he had finished. So when she left and luc said he wouldnt be able to pee like that I said to him, i know hunny, that nurse kinda erked me.. you are totally capable of getting up to pee, you just need help and for her to do that and say that(infront of him) is kinda degrading. It makes me mad for you i said. He looked down when she had left. Just because he has brain injury doesnt mean he cant understand her or feel embarrased(spelling sucks). He was definately embarrased by that.. After i told him that he said thanks hunny. and smiled at me.
:)
It makes me feel good that he understands why i was upset at the nurse(cause i could tell he was upset by the situation too) and that he was thankful for my noticing it too. :)
He is so sweet.. he sorta remembered our phone # today.. only he said the first three digits where 503 which is a vernon #
He said he was gonna think of us everyday and try to get better for her(karma).
anywho.. im gonna go, gotta do dishes so karma has bottles for the rest of the night.
