Hi All: First I hope you all remembered to turn the clocks back (that way it won't look like I'm so late posting tonight)! Ron & I got to spend a good share of the day with Jer today, and participate in his therapy. It was good to see him doing the exercises they giving him to do. He is truly a fighter and works hard to do the things the therapists ask. As he works, it is evident that the muscles are trying to do the job--now they just have to do it! Everyone seems to be surprised at his progress. As you see by the picture, we got him into the recliner for a while today.He said it felt good to sit in a real chair again. He is getting pretty good at transfering from the bed to the wheelchair and back. He still needs some help as he can't get his legs off the bed just yet by himself, or back on but, I'm sure that will be the next thing he works on doing.
Just as a friendly reminder, the nurses in our family want me to remind everyone that when you go to visit, not just Jer but anyone in the hospital, with the spread of that nasty virus that seems to be everywhere, to please use the hand sanitizer just outside the door of most patient rooms. It is especially important with those who have incisions such as Jer has.
I will be calling his case worker on Monday to see is she can narrow down his transfer to the Bronx, but until then I still don't have a time frame for you. I'll post the date as soon as I get one.
