Viewer caution is advised on images.

Ah so much to update!

I am Tired...
is it bedtime yet?

Eyes: They are planing to do some stuff to his eyes in July. They plan to remove the oil from his right eye and do some lid repair work on the left eye. Wait a few months. Put a lens in the right eye and finish lid work, remove oil, and do a cornea transplant in the left. Wait a few months. put a lens in the left. Then he can have contacts. This is all if everything goes well and according to plan. This is the plan as of now. Also after rehab they want to send him to blind school either in Waco, TX or Chicago, IL. 
This picture was during his appointment when they undid the sutures on his left eye. You can see the flap over it that is protecting the cornea how neat! The sutures are put back at the end of every eye apt. 


Nubbies: They are doing great. I think another week or two and his right nub will be healed enough to get a liner and socket going on that side finally. Then I know Cory will really go to town doing rehab!
See how much this one has shrank too! 

Ears: Cory is having surgery on his right ear on the 7th. He will also be getting a hearing aid for his left while the right heals. Once its healed they will go and do surgery on his left one too. They expect him to get back at least 80% of his hearing. How awesome is that! I can't wait till be don't have to have things blasting loud cause I am pretty sure its turning me deaf as well. Hopefully the ringing/hum will go away too. At first we had to sleep with the TV on loud so that it would tune out his issues and he could sleep. Which meant no sleep for me but luckily we were able to find a common ground with a sleep machine app! Best invention ever!

Last weekend was our first wedding Anniversary and it was fantastic!
Thank you everyone for all the thoughts and wishes as well as goodies!






 Just a bunch of silly geese! 

We are going to try our hardest to come home for a visit in September.
We are actually seeing if we can get transferred back before being assigned here.
We want to take advantage of our time here but would like to finish care and MEB process back home.
Fingers crossed they will give us what we want.
but we all know how the Army can be...
Either way we are shooting for NC soil in September.
If we do get to, the Thank You Party will happen at that time. 
I will keep everyone updated when I can find out more and for sure details.
So just think Party in September for now!

Cory has been staying really busy as they have him seeing 3 PT's & OT's on top of all his other appointments. One for CFI, WTB, & TBI. 

ok that's all my tired brain can think of sorry!

Howdy y'all sorry its been a quick minute since we have updated!

We are still in the process of transitioning over to the CFI and getting in-processed with the WTB as well.

So as one can assume its all shades of crazy over here.

We have been doing a lot of appointments and running around.

We are currently staying in the fisher house and have no real address.
If your wishing to send something please ship it to the Po Box.
Our parents will make sure we get it here in Texas by shipping it to my sister. 

We now do our stretches on our own time.
Cory only has PT at this second but we met with OT today and should start being on her roster.
We also have a bunch of different appointments/classes almost daily that is apart of in processing.
Hopefully things will slow down and we will have a more routine like schedule most days. 

I really think they should make in-processing easier and in one place instead of making families run around like chickens with their heads cut off. Not to mention if we didn't have one of his squad leaders with us we would have NEVER figured the junk out. No family needs this stress.

Cory is doing fantastic still, I say this in a bragging voice because I am proud of him.
During this in processing business they have laid out everything that happen to him and all I can say is wow.
Just 3 months ago... This is what his paperwork states.
He had a severe TBI with 2 hematomas, broken radial (right forearm), broken C6 neck spine, right above the knee amputation, left below knee amputation, loss of right quad muscle due to limp salvage, hearing loss and perforated ear drums in both ears, and blindness in both eyes.
How we have made it this far so fast just simply amazes me daily.
Thank you for all the thoughts and prayers we still need them.

We are still waiting on the right nub to heal... which seems to be taking forever. We cant really get started until it does. That nub was pretty tore up that's why its taking so long. 
He stands and walks(hops) with his walker in our room.
He has become a pro putting on his left prosthetic now.

July is when the big surgeries for his eyes are suppose to happen.
We are both a hot mess about it.
We are scared they could make worse then the little bit he has.
However we are trying to keep the faith in our doctors to make things better.
Keep on praying.

Now for some pictures in case you missed them!
