September 25th was moving day. Lee was super excited to be closer to home and to start his road to recovery. The criteria for Neuro-rehab was 3 hours of rehab/therapies a day this was this was for PT/OT with an additional hour for speech therapy. For someone that spent 2 weeks in the ICU this was a big challenge. The first night at rehab Lee was able to video chat with his mom Donna was there and added a few filters it made Lee laugh, at this point he needed a good laugh.
Lee Did so good in therapy, he worked hard each day and got stronger and stronger, he had some ups and downs needing several more paracentesis while he was there. All in all Lee was a rock star. He did have his silly moments, One day he was convinced his feeding tube was his head band and kept putting it on his head.
Lee also had several adventures outside,just a little walk to look at the life-flight chopper, a couple of adventures to see his Sadie girl and several trips to sip-in for flavored ice cubes.
Lee received a new Picc line while in rehab they had such a hard time trying to get labs and IV in him. It drove him crazy flopping around so I found him some cool arm covers.
Bonnie, Ivy and Mattie came to see Lee one day, he enjoyed seeing they all and seeing Ivy's newest baby also.
Lee was discharged from Rehab on October 18th. He was doing super well with therapy and was tolerating the tube feeds. Linda Lee's sister made the trip from her home in Saint Johns Arizona to help me with Lee for a little while. I am forever thankful that she has been here with me to take over care when I have to work. Sadie has been Super happy to have Lee home too.
