It's been a busy week. Brian did well in therapies. Last Thursday and Friday, he tolerated the Erigo machine and standing frame without additional blood pressure meds. That was awesome! Unfortunately, Brian's low blood pressure has given him a run for his money the last few days.
Brian's mom, brother, sister, and brother-in-law came in town for a visit. It's always nice to be around family. When they were here, we took a trip off-campus to a restaurant in walking distance. It was the first trip out with NO staff.
Our discharge date is July 18th. I'm feeling anxious because we still have areas to solidify before we leave. Once we discharge from inpatient, we head over to the Craig apartments for outpatient for a month. We will be transitioning to independent living in the apartments. I'm not sure of all the specifics with the transition program, but I believe Brian will continue outpatient OT and PT.
We were absolutely humbled and overwhelmed by the Night at the Races last Friday night. Thank you for attending the event or supporting our family even if you were unable to come. So many family and friends work countless hours to make the event perfect! People commented on the love they felt for our family that evening. Brian and I laughed and cried the whole evening as people sent us videos and pics.
Thank you for your good vibes and prayers as we finish out this leg of our journey!
Dear Julie & Brian,
ReplyDeleteI want to thank you for your continued updates. It is so good to see Brian smile and it looks like he continues to work hard at therapy. Any church we went in while we were on our trip this past month we would say a prayer for all of you. So please know that even though we were away you remained in our thoughts and prayers.
Love,
Linda & Charlie
