Monday Aug 6, Vicki was transported to Baptist Health Rehabilitation Institute in Little Rock. Her whole attitude has changed for the better, she was definitely ready to get out of the hospital and into rehab. She will have a really busy schedule, getting up by 6:30 am to be ready to start physical therapy by 8:00, lunch break around 12 noon, back to therapy around 1:30, and finally ending around 4:30. It sounds intense, but their success rate is excellent. And to add a cherry on top, she was very happy to have Gerald join her today. BRI has the top rated head trauma unit in the area. It feels like our families can finally take a relaxed breath now. Medically, they have both over come some much and now physical and cognitive recovery is within reach.
I just want to mention, that when mother was finally off most of her medications (where she could remember something for more than a minute) and realized all the cards she had received, she started reading through them, her reaction was always the same "I can't believe this". She is in awe, over the amount of prayers, well wishers and wonderful friends she has. Thank you. A special thank you to the students who sent cards from Harp Elementary. Heather hung them all over the wall in her hospital room.
We would also like to thank (like that's even enough) Diane, Jamie, Bonita, Janiece, Marilyn, Beverly, Trudi, and Patsy. Without you all, our children would have had a summer without us and our husbands might have replaced us.
I hope to report on their outstanding progress next week.
Take care,
Christy and Heather
