Tyler continues to improve. We found out on Friday that we can take him home on Tuesday. Great news for all of us!!! Tyler's day is full of therapy. Usually, speech and physical therapy in the morning and occupational and physical therapy in the afternoon. He his walking well but still has to work on his balance. His short term memory is improving also. As the doctors and therapists say it will just take time. Tyler will be having out-patient therapy at least 2 or 3 times a week once he is home.
Tyler met with the neuro-psychologist on Friday for 2 hours for an evaluation. If I understand what the doctor told Tyler, the evaluation indicated that Tyler has some neurological problems that can be explained as if he had been drinking alcohol. His reflexes are slow, he has a tendency to be impulsive and not use very good judgement. He cannot drive, operate machinery nor go to work for approximately 6 weeks. We have a referral to a neurologist for a follow up visit.
Now for the fun part. On Saturday we had a birthday party for Sean at the hospital. It was pouring rain the whole time but that did not stop the party. We brought our grill and barbecued hamburgers and hot dogs and also had plenty of chips, potato salad, macaroni salad and spinach dip. Cheesecake for dessert with tricky candles that would not go out. Fun was had by all.
Sunday, Tyler's dog Patch came to visit. We sat outside and ate lunch and enjoyed the nice weather. Quite a boring day for Ty. Tuesday cannot get here soon enough!!
