January 29, 2013

Today was the first full day in rehab and was spent assessing Ted's current abilities. He saw the physical therapists and occupational therapists as well as other doctors. We are very impressed with everyone here. They are very responsive, competent, and just downright nice people. 

I think the highlight of today for Ted was getting out of the bed and into a wheelchair for the first time. He was like a new person! 

Ted's day is busy with rehab and so no visitors are allowed during the day. Visiting hours are from 4-8 Monday - Friday and 12-8 on Saturdays and Sundays. I would imagine that his first few days in therapy are going to be somewhat tiring. 

We are blessed that he is getting stronger each day!

  1. Ted, I've been in continual prayer for you. Also, the fellows at The Gathering luncheon and many other people have been praying for your recovery.

    May God give you strength and healing.

  3. SO pleased - sounds like the nature (medicine) and the nurture (Ted's outlook) are both moving in the direction of recovery - always good.
