Two Weeks from Today!

Jamie's proposed discharge date is Thursday, September 27th. He's got a gorgeous red-carpeted ramp awaiting his entry into the house. And it's just in time for my birthday! What a great present!

Jamie's had a couple of good days in a row. Today they let him bear weight on his right leg for the first time. This will make all his transfers easier. He has changed from a high back reclining wheelchair to a regular low-back style. He will get another one the first of next week, that will have two rims on the right wheel, made to drive with one hand--one rim works both wheels, and the other works one wheel, for turning. If this new chair is a good fit, it'll be the one he brings home.

The headaches and nausea are gone, and he's eating better. For the next two weeks he'll be getting stronger and stronger and ready to come home. Hooray!
