Mak in Sac, Again

Mak's amazing mom sprung him from the Vallejo Rehab Center today. Joan had all the therapists and doctors sign off and they were home in Sacramento by 3:00pm for the last two sets of the Federer vs. del Potro French Open semi-final match. Mak was doing well enough on the tasks and exercises in rehab that he is ready to be home, where he will do some twice a week as yet to be determined outpatient stuff as well as whatever activities become part of the daily regimen that he and Joan work out together. Word is that Mak will be cooking his favorite foods soon. The house cleaning and yard work are just a rumor. We'll also try to get him back on schedule for the oral surgery he was already set for on July 28 (lower jaw work). The doctor in Vallejo said he's clear for that.

For this weekend as Mak makes the transition back home, we'd like to not have visitors . He's still pretty frail and needs a lot of rest. We have quite a few family members here through Monday and would like to limit the stimuli he has coming his way. He's doing well but needs to take it easy for awhile as we figure out how life proceeds from here.

  2. So glad to hear that Mak is continuing to make such amazing progress down his road to recovery! Although we are thrilled to hear the news that he left Vallejo to return to the good old 916 sooner than expected; Stacey, Brandon, Brad and myself were a little sad when we arrived at the Hospital this afternoon for a visit. Not to worry tho - we were pleasantly surprised to hear the nurse report that the "cute kid from Cal" took off earlier this morning. I'd say we'd deliver the brownies Stacey made with us on our next visit to Sacramento, but Brad and Brandon ate them all. Sorry Mak, take it up with them. Keep up the good work, we all love you very much... and we will follow your path back to Sacramento before long.
