Day 36: Broken Record - Wednesday, April 18, 2012

Scott had a relatively peaceful night however Ashley suffered from an upset stomach.  We sure hope they both can synchronize themselves very soon.  Ashley did take a break and went home for the day while Scott and I worked through his therapies.

Today was a broken record, Scott eats like a horse for breakfast, Scott does his therapies better than the day before, Scott eats like a horse for lunch and Scott's therapists brag about his progress.  The differences include Scott's constant lobbying to be released next week, a competitive game of checkers with dad and balloon volleyball.




Scott now has only a band-aid over his feeding-tube wound.  There are no other wound bandages on him.  He is totally free and unencumbered but still requires minimal assist to move about.  BTW - you do see Scott in a hospital gown during his therapies.  This is because he is still considered "dirty" only because he came from a long-term care facility.  It also helps ensure that he has a private room.

Tomorrow we will learn Scott's expected discharge date.  We are all excited to begin the next transition in Scott's rehabilitation.  There are a couple accelerated programs for patients like Scott and we will do everything to ensure the right care for Scott and not allow insurance companies to make those decisions.

Best!

    1. Correction Mike, I only played the left bongo as part of a bongo duet.

      Thanks for your love and prayers my friend.
