Improvement Every Day

Vaughan is making great improvement with the movement of both legs and he is feeling better, which helps him with his Physical and Occupational therapy. Marilynn, Brooke and Cameron are going to the hospital today to practice car transfers. If all goes well Vaughan will be able to come home this weekend for the day. We are very excited...we may not bring him back.

We met with the Neurologist on Sunday and she is very encouraged with his progress.  Vaughan is now off all of his medications (except blood thinners.) He will have two follow-up MRI studies.   One to check for improvement in blood-flow to the effected region of his spine and another brain scan to determine if he has any indication of mini-strokes.  We don't anticipate anything like that, but it is a good way to determine if there is a possibility this could happen again.

FINALLY - starting to think he may be ready for visitors. He is much stronger and not quite as tired by the end of the day after therapy and probably ready for some new faces. We are hoping Vaughan will get a day pass and come home for a few hours on Saturday or Sunday.  So make sure you check the schedule or email us to find out about visiting before you make a trip and find he is MIA.

Thank you for all of your love and prayers - we are so grateful for our friends and family and their unconditional support while Vaughan recovers.
