I just called to check on Michael and he's doing good. We took him to Columbia yesterday, got checked in and answered all the usual questions, everything went well. When we were getting ready to leave it seemed he was trying to say something, he was taking deep breaths and pushing sound out - no words just sound. I asked him if he was okay, if he was good with us leaving, if he was comfortable; his response was yes to everything.
We've been through this before, I feel good that we're getting help with things that are bothering him, I feel good that he's at Rusk where everyone is so good at what they do, so caring and Michael responds so well to them. It's all good but it's still difficult to leave him there and come home, 130 miles away. I will try to post here as soon as I get new information - maybe I can sneak some pictures of him in therapy and post them here.
