Today, 12 weeks after Dad's stroke, we learned that he will be heading home this weekend! He is scheduled to be discharged next Monday, but he is just about done with his scheduled therapy at HealthPark, so Mom has decided to bring him home on Saturday. He will be seeing Dr. Alvarez, the neurosurgeon who operated on him, on Monday, and we expect he will schedule some in home therapy for Dad. He still has a lot to work on, particularly cognitively, and we want to make sure he keeps up with that for as long as he needs it.
Mom has been working hard to get the condo ready for him to come home. Mom brought Dad to the condo yesterday so his OT, Colleen, could see how he does getting around. He did really well getting up the stairs! A few more things need to get done, like getting rid of area rugs and installing some rails in the bathroom, but we're excited that its only a couple of days away!!
Thank you again to everyone who has been calling and writing to show your support and love for Dad and for us. We've said it many times, but it's worth repeating; we appreciate you all so much!!
I'll write another update after Dad gets home, and hopefully I'll be able to post some pictures as well!
