Wed July 8, 2009

Good News! Good News! We just found out that we will be going home FRIDAY!! We will be moving to outpatient therapy 3 times a week. I will be working with him at home on the days we don’t have therapy. They are starting us out with 3 days and will work our way down. We only have 30 days of outpatient-so we are trying to use them wisely in case we need them later on down the road. Lucky for us the out patient counts Speech, Occupational, and Physical Therapy as 1 session. We still have a long recovery ahead of us-but being home is going to be wonderful. I know all the nurses have loved having Blake for a patient. He is quite good at listening to his heart and tummy. :) He raises his arm for the thermometer, and picks which leg he wants 'hugged' by the blood pressure machine. He is a great helper. He will miss all the nice nurses im sure. I hope you all keep visiting once we are home. Visitors are honestly the best medicine for him.
Today we had P.T. with a dog named Cabby. She was a border collie. Blake loved her! He read her a cheerios book and was able to feed her cheerios. I think he was her favorite patient because he kept giving her more and more cheerios. We have O.T. later this afternoon, and then we are done until tomorrow. His leg brace is expected Friday morning, and im sure not to long after we get it we will be headed home. Today has been a great day!
