Back to work he goes....

hi oh, hi ho... It's back to work Troy goes!! 

Yeah! What? I'm thinking the same thing. This all came a lot quicker than I expected. I thought there was NO way Vandenberg would release him the same week he saw him. However, he was a little worked up about troys latest incident involving the accident. Obviously, processing speed is something Troy struggles with. The more tasks at hand, the worse his processing speed gets. He is very hopeful that Troy is going to succeed when going back to work. And, I trust his decision. He will be start with 4 hours a day for the first two weeks. Then working our way back up to 8+ hours a day. He is going back to work as an apprentice rather than a journeyman but we gotta start small and work our way back up. I'm confident Troy will get there but slow and stead wins the race. All I care about is troys safety. 

The original plan was for troy to start tomorrow. Unfortunately with all the paperwork between doctors and getting approval is taking longer than we expected. So, we will wait for the OK from all sides. Ugh, oh well, we wait. Story of our life! Hey, maybe I'm saving myself from more grey hairs by waiting a day or two. I might be the first 22 year old with 2 grey hairs on my head. I can thank Troy for that! 

Pray for Troy as he transfers back into work. Pray for safety and clear thoughts for him that he makes good decisions!

Roles have reversed here at the Bosch house. I all of the sudden became patient and Troy my care giver. Scary, I know. I'm not handling it well. I have this idea that it's just easier if I do things because they will get done the way I want them too.  Last Tuesday after work I landed myself back in Holland Hospital but this time as a patient. At my last appointment my BP was elevated and they told me to keep and eye on it. Throughout the weekend I had checked it three times a day; morning, noon and night. After a few days I had noticed a trend up. Of course it was after hours so I called in just to ask. Little did I know she would have me come in for testing, let alone not let me leave for the whole night either! I was a little upset which probably didn't help the BP issue. They kept saying, "your BP is scary and girl, your swollen!". All of that was true but I was convinced I could fix it by a good night sleep :) after IV fluids, meds, blood work and fetal monito...

New beginnings

Where to even start.  First off, sorry for the lack of updates. I have been obsessively hanging out with my kid because well, I'm obsessed with him. I keep telling myself that I have to get it out of my system now before he is a teenager and wants absolutely nothing to do with me. But that won't actually happen because I'll be his best friend forever.  Seriously though, if there was an award for best baby ever, Brody would get it. The kid is so laid back! Sometimes I feel something must be wrong with him. I woke up to him this morning pulling the blanket over his face and then laughing uncontrollably, at 10:15AM! I'm very seriously considering being done at one. Just kidding, but kind of not.  Brody is 6 months old already, I don't know when or how that happened but it did and now I want to cry. I've always felt that as I've gotten older the years go by faster. But then you have a kid and it literally is like living life in fast forward mode. Someone press p...

walk down memory lane.. ICU style

I wish I had a instruction manual for my life. Telling me what is wrong and what's right; what I should do, or shouldn't. I can't say I have felt really frustrated since the hospital/rehabs stays. Today was just one of those days. I get frustrated with myself because I feel like there is so much to be thankful for, why am I frustrated? I  wish I could sit in my own bubble with Troy and just be a loner. I feel life would be so much easier. It probably wouldn't but life is so annoying sometimes. I'm thankful for new days, days were we have the choice to start over!  We had a fun night tonight and went back to where it all kind of started, the Spectrum ICU. It was a strange feeling walking in, holding his hand. It was so fun to see all the nurses faces when it clicked that this was TROY! It wasn't busy so we were able to go in the room where he stayed and show him around. It was so nice to be back in such a different position; walking with Troy and seeing an empty ...
