Well - much to report tonight. First Rob has been moved to a new room, room 119, just down the hall. But the folks in this room are much more mobile, no ventilators etc. He spent a good deal of time in his wheelchair, going downstairs to check messages on the computer and even went outside for a short while. He did not nap during the day hoping that between staying awake and his two therapy sessions he might get a good nights sleep. Mandy did all the hard work today. I got to watch TV with him and feed him snacks. He got hands splints which will help him to control his wrist movements. His OT said they would work on typing movements real soon. Still having blood pressure issues when he sits up too long but that is to be expected. All in all a good day.

hello all - well we have gotten through our first day. Mandy went in this morning to do breakfast and get Rob ready for his first PT session. When I got there around 12:30pm he was back and waiting for lunch. I left them to eat and watch Days of Our Lives. They then snuck in a nap before afternoon OT. It was good to see him sitting up in a wheel chair. He was able to move his arm using his triceps for the first time which was a great accomplishment. Still nothing in his legs but he is determined. When he got back from OT he really needed some pain meds but was encouraged by the progress he had made. He still gets very tired so even though the visiting hours are pretty liberal don’t be surprised if you stop by only to find him taking a nap. Mandy and I hope to get him down to the computer within the week so he can read your messages himself. Keep them coming and we will make sure he gets the word.
