We're almost there. Unfortunately, Sheldon is spending at least one more night in the hospital. The doctors want to check to make sure he is completely capable of being sent home, testing all his motor skills on the left and right sides, and just monitoring him a little longer. The reality is that there will be some pretty major lifestyle adjustments in the Harder house for the next little while. Ben and Viola are under strict orders to pay very close attention to Sheldon, and he's lost a lot of time from school. Of course, he's still very weak as well.
Viola told me this evening that she and Ben had each slept about 8 hours in total the first week Sheldon was in the hospital, and not more than 6 hours in any night since then. You can only maintain that so long, and now that the immediate crisis seems to be over, the whole situation can suddenly feel overwhelming.
We'll keep this blog going until Sheldon is out of the hospital, at least. It's purpose is nearly done, Lord willing.
