Update by Ryan

Hi all. This is Ryan. I'm out of the hospital now, and doing quite well. Thank you for all of the support and well wishes. On last Tuesday (the 10th) I was cleared to resume weight bearing and no longer need the wheelchair. At this point I feel like nothing ever happened, and I don't think I should have any long term ill affects. Everyone, from the doctors on down, keeps telling me how lucky I am and are surprised by my speedy recovery. At this point, all I really should have left is a brief rehab. Soon after, Kim and I plan on returning to California so I will see some of you in the flesh soon enough. This should be around the 20th of April if all goes as planned. Once again, thank you for your care and concern.

An update!

Ryan is home & is doing extremely well! He's been spending the past the few days just resting & helping me take care of some things here. He had his first doctor's appointment with his primary care physician yesterday, & she was amazed at how well he's doing considering the injuries he sustained. His next appointment is on the 10th with orthopedics. Hopefully, at that appointment they'll give the okay for him to be able to start the rehab on his left leg & arm. Until this point, they've been pretty much let those extremities rest due to his clavicle (collarbone) & pelvic fractures. Ryan is SO anxious to try to get up & start trying to walk again, so we know that his rehab is going to go very well.

Ryan has a lot of different doctors appointments in the upcoming weeks (trauma surgery, ENT, vascular surgery, neurosurgery etc.) so that the physicians can track his progress. It truly is amazing how well he's doing. If it weren't for the cervical collar (which hopefully ortho will let him take off) & him being in the wheelchair, you would never know that anything had happened to him at all. Hopefully, in the next day or two, Ryan himself should be posting a message here on the blog, so be sure to check back for that! =D
