Another moving
In this week, we had a big event and another moving! On March 13th, Jun left his second hospital. It was such a nice hospital- a clearn and new building, great staff members, a pretty good location to go back and forth-so it was hard to leave. It was also very kind of them that they always welcomed visitors there, so we made tons of fun memories there. We miss them A LOT!
I was talking to his therapists on our last day, and realized again how much progress he had made for last 3 months. When he moved in, he couldn’t talk at all, he couldn’t stay sitting, or he couldn’t recognize some objects on the table. Now, he can make some silly comments, he can walk by himself with a walking frame, and he can enjoy watching a ballgame on TV! I can cry to think of those! Thank you again and always for your love and support!!!!
In January, we were talking that we wanted him to come home at this point. To reach this goal, Jun did all his best, so did all his therapists. However, his doctor suggested that he needs further intensive rehabilitation for a little longer period. He could come home now but it’s better for him not to do so on a long-term point.
By Japanese Law, a patient cannot stay in a same hospital for more than three months. (There might be some exception, but at least for Jun’s case.) Therefore, he had to move out again to another hospital. His third hospital is located pretty far from home. I can visit him much less than before, and it is not okay!! I miss him so much. When I told him “I want to come more! I miss you!!”, he said “Well, it’s okay, you should work!” Wow! It sounded like our former relationship! He used be like an older brother rather than a younder one for me!
We had an amazing day after he left his second hospital and before moved in third one. I will let you know about it hopefully tomorrow!
Have a great Sunday!
Love,
mihori

Thanks for the update! That sucks that Jun is living farther away from home now. But you’re right, he’s come such a long way. I’m so proud of him too.
Do his therapists at the second hospital know about this website? Some of them have posted messages before, right? At least they can continue to say hello and learn about Jun’s progress 🙂
By the way, do you have some pictures of Jun’s graduation? I’m sure people would love to see those too 😉
頑張ってね！準ちゃんによろしく伝えてくださ〜い
愛ラヴゆ〜
