Scott is Coming Home
Tomorrow, Tuesday, is the big day -- Scott is finally coming home. He has continued to make good progress at the nursing facility in San Leandro but, alas the hospitalization coverage portion of his insurance has run out and it is time for him to come home. Jen has been working hard in the weeks leading up to his homecoming to prepare their house and has hired a home care nurse to help with round the clock care for his first month home. We are all very anxious to see how Scott will react to being with family, seeing the pugs and being surrounded by all the familiar things in his home for the first time in six months.
Oysters and Bluegrass!
If you haven't already heard, time is running out to get in on a fantastic fundraiser being organized by Abbie, Dave, and others at the Ocean Grill and Tiki Bar in Carolina Beach, NC. Here are the details:

Drum Roll Please
Last Saturday Jen, Floyd, Karen & Scott, and Andrea & Andy brought Scott's drums to the rehabilitation facility at the recommendation of his physical therapist. Jen was a little nervous about how he might react because so far he has not wanted to play with his drumsticks.
Apparently, after the drums were set up, Scott began tapping on them with his hands. They handed him his sticks and he immediately executed a perfect drum roll! Jen was inside making sure the music was not going to be too loud and missed the whole thing. Jen reports that, though he wasn't interested in playing much more that day, he sat there and enjoyed an afternoon of music with friends.

Scott transferred from the rehabilitation facility back to the nursing facility in San Leandro on Wednesday. Jen has been working to get him back on a schedule there and get his therapies all set up. I'll provide more details on his progress in San Leandro when I have them.
