He's Home!!!

Colby was able to come home this evening!! He is very happy to be home and we are happy to not be going back and forth between the hospital. I know my parents are also happy to finally be able to sleep in their own bed!

Colby has had great progress today.  He can still get overwhelmed quickly, but is doing so much better already with his ability to think clearly.  He is on anti seizure medication and just Tylenol for pain, which is great! The hardest part of him being home is having to constantly tell him to relax and take it easy.  He just wants to get right back into the swing of things and is dying to get back to school and seminary.  We keep telling him he sort of has a free pass on everything right now. 

For those of you that are close friends of Colby's, he would love to have visitors over the next few weeks while he is still at home recovering.  Later this week would be a good time to start having people drop by, a few at a time.  It will be a good distraction for him since he is going crazy with worry on all he is missing out on!  He can only handle a few visitors at a time and for about half an hour to an hour at most before he needs to take a break and get some rest.  When he starts feeling overwhelmed and tired he starts mixing up his words and becomes more sensitive to light and sound.  That's always our que to shut things down and let him rest. 

And now to the pictures from today!
