Hello everybody. If you were wondering if the Seufer Family was spending Christmas in the Hospital....the answer is NO! Luke's physician gave him an overnight pass to come home for Christmas! The main requirement was that he be able to make transfers to and from the car. After a full day of therapies, today, on Christmas Eve, we loaded up Luke lying flat in the back seat of our Honda.
Buckled in with a fancy "lying flat" seat belt from the hospital, Luke was ready for the ride home! He is only allowed to sit upright for 30 minutes and our drive home to Farmington is about 40 minutes, hence the flat car position. He was comfortable and happy all the way home while visions of "sugarplums" (presents under the tree) danced in his head.
Sparkie, a 12 year old Basenji therapy dog got in a quick visit with Luke before his departure. Luke was able to pet the dog from his new Gillette vehicle.... which you see in the photo.....a motoring device called a "Stander." He has to stand in this 3 times per day for 30 minutes at a time. He really likes it and learned to do a 360 in no time at all.
At Physical Therapy Luke did 26 leg presses (counting to the ABCs) on a fancy machine at the gym. Stronger every day is the goal.
Christmas Eve, and all 5 of us are home together! What a perfect Christmas!

Merry Christmas to all of you from all of us. We are glad to see Luke doing so well and can't wait until he can come to Colorado again and show us his stuff!
