2020 10 24 Rehab

2020 10 24 Saturday. 

This was first day of rehabilitation. We were able to meet the weekend crew and get a little familiar with a few doctors, nurses, and therapists. We were able to start getting a little familiar with what to expect and what is expected of us.  As of this day one we have a feeling that this team work is going to work.

This morning during parent speach session, Mom was able to have him say 3 words. While reading a book in bed he said "anguin" for penguin. He said "roar" for the lion. He said "efant" for elephant.

During the day we met several therapists and then Alex and I were able to work toward a goal.

We have left a long road behind us. The road was bumpy, broken, dark, foggy, and just outright miserable at times. We went through several deep, dark tunnels where we definitely didnt see the light at the end of the tunnel. When in those dark tunnels, we were on a track..a shitty track..we couldnt see the light...the tracks jerked us from side to side and almost tossed us all off several times. We stayed on the track with faith that because the track was laid...there had to at some point be a light and an end to that damned dark tunnel. We know that we still have a long road ahead of us. There are steps to be taken and work to be done and we are ready
