We all had a busy day today. M remains about the same. I would prefer improvement, but same is good for now. This morning, the thinking was M would be transferred to a long-term acute care hospital (LTACH), not being ready for rehab. But then the decision was made to at least order a review by The Institute of Rehabilitation and Research. So that will take place in the next few days. Somewhere in that time frame, M will be moved to a room where we can stay for longer than twenty minutes every two hours (the current visitation schedule). He also had an MRI today which will determine if the cervical collar (hot and uncomfortable) can be removed from around his neck.
A special visitor came today, an uncle of friends of ours, who happens to be a neurologist. He examined M, looked at some of his records, taught me some exercises to do with M and said he thought M would be much more aware in a few days. What happy news to hear. We can't keep this neurologist, though, he's going back home to Taiwan very soon. But we did get recommendations for another neurologist, who may come see M this weekend. And all, have a wonderful weekend!
...those who plan what is good find love and faithfulness.”- Proverbs 14:22
