Today is Sunday and Jon's weekend is almost over. His physical therapy is light on the weekends so we've had a lot of free time to roam the halls and just hang out. He had a bath today and it gets easier each time we do it. For Jon to take a bath is quite a bit of work and is considered therapy in and of itself. He has to get undressed in bed and then we have to transfer him from his bed to a gurney that has a kind of soft tub attached to it. We wheel him down the hall to the big shower room and pretty much hose him down, soap him up, rinse him off, dry him off, cover him with warm blankets and wheel him back to the room. Then we get him dressed and either put him to bed or like today, put him back into his body brace to take him to lunch.
Our videographer (Josh) has a slight cold so we're keeping him away from Jon for a little while. We'll try and get to the video blog later this week.
Tuesday or Wednesday we will have a team meeting with his doctor and therapists and they will give us a discharge date.
All our love, Lee & Jon

We were so Happy to see your smiling faces yesterday!! You look great, even with the Mozart 'do. Hugs and Kisses ~ Annie and Ricky
Thanks for sending me the link. It is interesting to me to see how patients who leave the ICU to go to rehab do. I rarely see that side.
ReplyDeleteYou are an extremely lucky man. We get traumas with injuries similar to yours all of the time. Your outcome has been amazing!! Good luck :)
