Grandpapa

We have a few new updates on grandpa. We finally were about to get the MRI and it is showing a large stroke in the left side of his brain. He is still pretty confused so we aren't able to see what functional deficits he has. From what we can see so far it seems like he is able to move his right leg and arm (which is what we would worry about from where his stroke is) but he might be having a hard time moving his right hand. It also seems like he is neglecting his right side. We are actually transferring him to CPMC in the city because we have been very unhappy about the care he has gotten at Marin General so far. We still all have very positive thoughts that he will make a full recovery. He is the rock of the Tuffanelli family and if anyone can make it through this it's him. We just keep thinking positive thoughts and saying lots of prayers and hope you all do too. Here are some great pics of grandpa as happy as can be at our wedding two years ago.

Update on Grandpa

So they were able to extubate him...meaning they took the tube out of his mouth and took him off the breathing machine, which is great news. He is able to talk but he's not making a lot of sense at this point. We are still waiting for the MRI and the neurologist to let us know exactly what's going on. He's still in the ICU but hopefully he won't need to be for much longer. Here are some more pics from when they came to visit in June.

Praying for grandpa

My grandpa Denny, Jett's great grandfather and one of his best friends, my moms dad, had a stroke yesterday. He's currently in the ICU and it's too early to know the outcome. We will keep everyone posted. Please keep him in your prayers. We are all putting positive thoughts out for a good recovery. Grandpa is an amazingly strong person and we know he will make it through this. Here are some pics from when him and grandma came out to Detroit to visit us.




Jett absolutely loves his great grandpapa. He is actually obsessed with him. He won't leave his side when we are all together. Insisting on sitting on his lap at all times. It is precious.

Here's a silly video of Kerisi and Jett drinking juice and eating ice.

Swimming

Here are some videos of Jett swimming.  He is getting pretty good and loves it.  He can't come up from under water yet but goes a pretty good distance underwater, holding his breath, and reaching for us when he's ready to come up.

Hamptons

Here are some of the pics from our trip to the Hamptons. I'll be posting more later. Such a fun adventurous trip. We went up there with Julia and Aksel and stayed at our friend Mike Sloans house and met lots of new friends at the same time. The Hamptons are amazing. Beautiful. The homes are exceedingly large. People are just what you would expect from the movies. I went to $40 bikram yoga (no different from any other bikram class I have ever been to). It was quite a trip. Jett loved it of course. The people we went with are extremely active so the trip was full of exercise which we love. We also got to hang out by the pool a lot and Jett got pretty good at underwater swimming. We crashed a 6 year old birthday party which was just what you would expect from a kids party in the hamptons. Jett got to drive around a tiny hummer. It was amazing.


This is the pool in the yard we were staying at.
