New Room

Troy was moved to rehab this evening. Robin says his new room is really nice. He asked her earlier today if she thought he would get a better bed. She told him definitely. He has been approved for a 6 week stay, but hopefully he will not be there that long. He will be going to therapy 3 hours a day in 30 minute increments. He will have physical, speech, and occupational therapy. He will be required to get up and get dressed every morning. He will be shaving and brushing his teeth himself. When able to eat, he will go to a dining area and eat at a table. One of the therapy rooms has a car in it! He will be learning to do everything he needs to go home. When he got into his room a nurse came in and said she needed to see what he could do. He took his shoes off, got in bed, shifted around in the bed to position himself. She was still talking when suddenly, he sat straight up in the bed, and did this little pose. As if to say, here is what I can do. She started to laugh. His medicine was reduced again today, so he was more alert. They will continue to wean him off the meds and be removing the trach very soon. We will be getting a cat scan in the future to determine the condition of the pancreas. Please keep that in your prayers. That will determine when he will be able to start eating and get the feeding tube removed. We are very positive about this move and excited to see the progress. Pray for him as he begins this part of his recovery. Pray for him to have strength, endurance and the will to proceed. "Our God is an Awesome God"
