Tuesday Febuary 10, 2009 update

Zachary has been home for a little over a week and he is doing well. He gets around on our upper floor in his wheelchair and just seems to be better adjusted now that he is home.

Home healthcare comes in on Monday and Wednesday to change his wound on his abdomen, and we are astounded at the improvement that has been made in that since his time home.

I think that as we look back on the events of the last 6 weeks we are amazed at the enormity of the situation. There have been many little details and things that we all take for granted once they are taken away.

I think when Greg first received the call asking if he was Zachary Brimhall's father that the severity of it hit him right away. For me, now that we are at home and able to relax a little bit, it's hitting me.

We are starting to receive the bills from the hospital. WOW !!!! It leaves us very frustrated at the other driver's insurance company, who is making this more difficult on us.

I often wonder what the long term implications are going to be and we really have no way of knowing at this point.

There are many things that we are grateful for. We have been overwhelmed by the outpouring of support our family has received. I feel very unworthy of the generousity that has been shown to us. There are SO many people that have done so much for us and I know that we will never be able to repay them. We did want to make sure that everyone knows how supportive Zachary's employer www.davesmotors.com has been to us. He placed a thread on his own website about Zachary and the response from his customers has amazed us as well. They sent him a model helicopter that keeps him quite occupied. Zachary has also been working on model cars. This seems to be helping with the numbness that he has in his right hand.

Zachary enjoys having people coming to visit. So all are welcome to visit as long as you can "pardon our dust" while we are remodeling. (we did start that before the accident)

We will be posting some of the photographs that we have taken of Zach during his hospital. Some of them are very graphic so we are just warning you ahead of time.
