About MJ

[scupgirl]

As many if you know, I am MJ's Daughter.
Most of you are aware of all the issues he has had this past year after his transplant. Although the kidney is doing amazing, he broke his hip, got a bed sore on the heel of his foot which they almost amputated but thankfully were able to do skin grafts and its healed nicely. Had a pretty big stroke and He broke his femur.

Hes still kicking!! He is still in rehab. They began using a lift that hoists him up and allows him to walk without carrying his body weight. He is officially in a regular wheelchair (before he could not hold his balance and had to be slightly reclined). He is starting transfers from the bed to the chair with the help of a sideboard (a piece of glossy wood that he can slide on instead of standing).

Although his progress has been very slow he is making progress.

I see him 3 days a week. 2 days by myself and Sundays I bring my 3 kids to visit Papa. The twins are now 5 and my little man is 16months (but a whopping 30lbs!).


Thank you all for your years of friendship and support!!

Today his brother brought a wheelchair van and was able to take MJ to the Cape Cod Canal. It's the first time he has been out of the nursing home since August. Hoping this will surely boost his confidence and kick his butt into gear!!!
