Glad to hear Phantom is almost ready to come home!
Here's to great medical care and little luck!

Phantom is all cleared to come home and ready to go! He has some therapy in the morning, and should be discharged after lunch time.
I've talked extensively with his caregivers over the last two days to find out what we need to do to make Phantom's at home recovery is just as good as his in hospital recovery was. He's going to be doing some out patient therapy for the next couple of weeks and following up with the family doctor and neurosurgeons.
Part of Phantom's at home recovery includes limited screen time, meaning limited time each day to watch television, look at a computer monitor, play hand held games, or even use his cell phone. Eye strain and eye fatigue are very bad for people recovering from brain trauma. Also, electronic stimulation isn't as helpful as other forms of stimulation. For instance, he'll get more out of playing cards than playing a video game at this point (even though part of his at home physical therapy consists of doing balance games on Wii Fit; it's just in small amounts). So while he's eager to get back and you're all eager to say hello to him again, it's going to be in small amounts at first. But please know that your well wishes have meant a lot to him!

Progress, however great or small, is great to hear. It's nice to hear he's well enough to leave the hospital.

Wonderful, wonderful news! I'm sure he'll be thrilled to be out of the hospital and back to something close to normal life.

My Characters
Knight Court--A CoH Story Complete 2/3/2012
Phantom has been home just over four weeks now, and he continues to make great progress. He's still getting used to being in the swing of things again, but over all has made remarkable strides. He got to have his first CoH time since his accident over double XP weekend, and many of you got to team with him. He had a great time and was very happy to see people again.
I have passed along all the PMs and e-mails you guys sent to me when Phantom was in the hospital to Phantom, and he's been quite overwhelmed in all the best ways. His computer time is still rather limited, so he hasn't had time to respond to everyone yet, but he will.
Again, thank you all so much for your support and concern during this time. My entire family has been touched by it.
