Keep on trucking!!!
Mitch is just amazing!!! He still has some swelling in his head and it does cause him a headache but we still haven't seen any seizures and he swears he is in no pain and he is sleeping much better at night! We are just thrilled!!!! He did receive a package in the mail today from the hospital and it had at least 50 cards in it! He would like me to thank you all for the cards and all the wonderful messages he received for his birthday, He feels pretty special!! He didn't get them all looked at yet but I told him to just take his time and open a few each day, makes your birthday last longer, thank you all so much for making him so happy, we appreciated it so much!!!!!! We hope to start therapy in a week or two, just want to make sure the swelling is gone so he can handle being up more! He has had some great visitors and he looks forward to more!!! Thanks so much for all the good food you all have brought, no dieting here:)! Thanks so much for all the prayers, we appreciate them! If you could say a prayer for some of my Kansas cousins, we are heading out their tonight as my sweet Aunt Evelyn Henry passed away! Never fun to see everyone at a time like this but I am so thankful I am able to go and tell her goodbye! Thank you all so much, you guys are all amazing!!! Theresa

Keep on truckin!!!!
Well my rockstar is wanting out of here real bad! He has had an awesome day....hoping that he hasn't overdone it! He has been up several times walking the halls and each time he is more steady than the last! He has had a very good appetite and pretty much eats whatever he wants. He took a shower, with the help of Dave and I , and he just looks so much better. He does have quite a bit of swelling in his head and face and they told us to expect that to go down his face each day and his eyes may be almost swelled shut but it should absorb itself and he has had no fever at all today. They also told us that we should go home tomorrow and I think we can handle that! This place is wonderful and I love the expert help we get but there is no place like home to heal. He will go back to therapy, at home, in a week or two and we aren't really sure how long that will last but we know they will LOVE to have him back. The Royals have kept this stay very interesting for us and all the nurses have heard about the birthday shout out to Mitch and some of them were even watching it and said to their family "Hey I know that man"! Mitch is Loving the winning streak they are on! Dave and I plan to go back to the house tonight, THANK YOU SO MUCH ERMA, JEFF, JOAN AND KYLER for letting us use your homes, that helped us out tremendously! God is good and so far we have seen 0 arm seizures in 2 days. We know that we won't know anything for a long time and this is how it started the last time but we are very hopeful that they have left the country! We said goodbye to my Mom, Mary, Malia and Magz today! Thank you so much for spending the weekend with us, even if you were here to play ball, it sure made it go fast. Thanks to Keith, Kristy and Kayla for coming by for a quick visit, it was so nice to see you. So the plan for now is to get out of here tomorrow afternoon and go home and heal! Thanks to you all for all the support and prayers, WOW you all are awesome!!!! Love ya, David, Theresa and Mitchell
Much better!
Just a quick update now to thank you for prayers! I came back to hospital at 6 this morning and he was much more alert, talkative and no fever! Dave said he slept good, Just praying now the Fever stays away and he can have a good day! His nurse thought he would get moved to the floor today if they had a room for him! Mitch wants outta here real bad, I'm in no hurry to get him home......yet! I will update later but wanted you to know he seems much better this morning! He just got done eating an egg, bacon and cheese buiscut and he thought it tasted good! The surgery team was just in and said they are moving Mitch to the floor and if he can get up and walk he can go home tomorrow, I told them we are in no hurry yet, Thank you Jesus!!!! Love you all, Theresa

Quiet Birthday!
The birthday boy was pretty quiet today! They got him up and he was able to sit in a chair for 30 minutes but that was all he could handle! He went for a MRI and we haven't heard anything from that so they said that is good otherwise they would have took him straight to surgery! He Hasn't ate much but doesn't really have an appetite yet, and he is running a 100.2 temp and they don't get concerned unless it is over 100.5 so I am praying that it goes back down instead of creeping up! Dave kicked me outta the hospital tonight and he stayed, so I will try to get so sleep and head back over early! If his temp goes down he should get moved to the floor tomorrow, they also said if he can get up and move around he may be able to go home Monday but I'm not real thrilled with taking him home unless he is getting up and down a lot better than what he is right now! Mom stayed with Mitch for a while today so Dave and I could go watch Maggie play ball, good game Maggie and thanks Granny, and we were sad to find out we missed our cousin Keith, please come back Keith!! We had some visitors from Iowa today, thank Kevin , Crystal, Hailey, Caitlyn and Aiden for coming to sing Mitch Happy Birthday! Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day! We are praying tomorrow will be a better day and that this is just a bump in the road! Thanks so much for the continued prayers we really do appreciate all of them! I'm so ready for my baby to feel better!!!! Love you all Theresa

Back in our room!
Our Rockstar is back in his room! They took him at 9:30 and he got back to the room at 6:30! They took a pretty good piece of brain out and now the waiting game to see if seizures come back! They said just surgery could make him have some seizures but we are really hoping they are DONE!! When we got back to the room they were concerned because he couldn't move his left arm or leg at all, they called the Dr and ordered a MRI to make sure there is no bleeding but he did finally start to move and seems to be back to normal! They are still going to do the MRI just to be on the safe side. He is also pretty nauseated and sick to his stomach, so they are pumping him up with alot of zofran! We got his meds down him and are praying that they stay down. Mary, Malia, Maggie, Mom and Dave got here at 11:30, i was very glad to see them. Bri Hunter brought some birthday cupcakes and Jill made some scotcheroos, Yummy Puff, Tyler Davis, and Jessica also came and spent some time with us during and after surgery and Lori Stoll came and brought us some cookies and fruit! Thank you all so much for the food and visiting with us during surgery it really helped to pass the time. Thanks so much for all the kind words, messages and prayers, you will never know how much we cherish all you have done for us! Love you all David, Theresa and Mitchell
