We are in our new home! He made the big move at about 1:00 pm. So far he does not seem to realize what is going on. He is talking a little but mostly sleeping. As the weekend goes on he will be evaluated by different doctors and departments. On Monday he will see the physical therapists and occupational therapist. I don't expect that much else will happen this weekend so I may not update the blog for a day or two. But if there are any questions I will update sooner. They tell me that they will try to put him in a chair everyday and do as much as he can handle. They will also start trying to wean him off the ventilator as much as he can handle. I am very optimistic about the new facility, and will continue to hope that this will work better than expected. His room number is 5201 and we are now at St. Luke's hospital. It is right across the street from where he was before. They are doing construction so it is a little difficult to get to, but you can park in the downstairs lot and ask the front desk for directions. Thank you for your prayers, its still hard to believe that we have got this far. He has made such great progress and we need the prayers to continue to make more.
