WE ASKED ZACH TO TAKE A PICTURE OF HOW HE FELT ABOUT HIS NECK BRACE??? (This was when he took it off. He was so excited!!!)
After a week of sleeping by your side in the hospital, 11A. you have pulled out dobb hoffs, gotten mad, jumped out of bed, passed the swallowing test, savoring thickened juice enjoying this like nothing else matters....Who would have imagined this day? REHAB!
We went by wheelchair through the ominous tunnel from CMC to Rehab. You were obviously anxious about the move. You said, "I want to just go home". Then you were greeted by warm embracing staff at rehab. The resident did a great assessment on you. You have some upper motor neuron deficits...which is normal for you. Big change, after 6 weeks with a stiff C-collar on....It is finally off, per the neuro surgeon. What a relief...Your neck is so thin. Did we tell you that you have lost 40 pounds in 6 weeks. Now you are 160 pounds. Then Ang and I went to East Blvd Bar and Grill for some dinner and wine. You called us on our cell. So cool that you called us....So, We went back to tuck you in at rehab and reassure you are OK and on YOUR Way.
FYI: Zach will have a tight schedule with lots of work ahead of him. Visiting is limited in the next 2 weeks...please know he will need you when he comes home.
Happy for Mom to sleep at home, while Zach is safe and challenged.
Thanks again to all.
