Another update on my son

He was moved late this afternoon to the acute rehab center not to far from our home / work . So someone will be able to visit everyday even if it’s a short visit. Don’t totally know the whole plan yet they are putting it together but mostly it sounds like lots of P T etc. it seems he is most concerned about his vision so he wants their eye person to coordinate with the eye dr he had since he was a baby ( he had a lazy eye the repaired when he was like 3)
It hasn’t ever been a problem but now he has focus issues and I could clearly see tonight it kept “ drifting” inward.
He still gets dizzy when he’s up so needs some help walking.
At rehab we can bring him goodies etc so I might try and do that this weekend. I think he like the hospital food more than what they served tonight at the rehab.😊

I'm sure those visits from you and your family will aid that recovery. And goodies always help.

of physical therapy and doctor visits, but he has continued to recover. He still walks slower than he used too and reaction times aren't as good and the vision is still fuzzy/double...but he's still here. Just take it one day at a time.
