Braden's Quadriplegic Cerebral Palsy Blog

week 1 after being home

September 26th, 2009

We will try to keep updating our blog from time to time. Our trip home was veryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy long! We woke up in China around 8 am and our plane left for Beijing at 4pm. We arrived in Beijing at 5:30 and didn’t leave for L.A. until 10pm. once we got on the plane Braden slept about 5 hours on our 12 hour flight. We arrived in L.A. at 6pm that same day! (kind of funny). We had a 12 hour layover there so we got a motel but since our time was screwed up we didn’t sleep much. We got back to the airport at 3am to go to Denver and then made our flight to Alliance. We finally got home about noon. It was great to be back, we both missed our family so much and Keegan and Brooklyn grew so much. We tried to stay up and visit but we both called it a night early. We were both up about 2am so we just hung out and waited for everyone else to get up. It took a week to get back to normal, neither one of us felt very good for 4 or 5 days. Braden’s body was very tight and spastic for several days, almost worse than when we left. On about Tuesday his body started to relax and get back to normal. He is doing much better now and last night he even sat by himself on the floor for several minutes while we were talking to my parents on skype. I’ll try to keep updating the blog weekly so keep checking back.
