Yesterday two of the doctors felt that Ted was at a "plateau" stage. Yea! That means that we are hopefully off the downward slope and heading toward the road to improvement. He is continuing to gain strength and coordination in his arms and hands.
He finished his 7th and last IVIG treatment last night. He also finished treatments by the respiratory therapist who said his lungs sounded great.
Today the neurologist and the hospital doctor both felt that Ted is stable enough to be moved to the rehab hospital at the Neuromedical Center tomorrow. We have one more neurologist to make the final decision tomorrow. We are excited!
PS....I've replaced my phone! :)
ReplyDeleteThat is great news. Hope Ted makes a speedy recovery.

ReplyDeleteJim Scheffy just sent me the link to your blog so Freda and I could catch up. It's good to hear the progress from day to day. If there is anything construction wise I can help do for Ted please let me know.

Cate,
ReplyDeleteSo wonderful to hear that Ted is making progress. You, Ted, and your family are in my prayers.
I have tried to post this 4 times so if you suddenly get a whole bunch of similar comments from me, you will know that I don't always read directions before I try something. Didn't realized that I needed to sign in.
Sorry about your phone. That made me mad just reading about it. Glad you had a place to vent about the phone!
