Blaine is progressing very quickly now!  His sense of time has reestablished, he is getting better at remembering day to day events, his recognition of people and names is improving as well.  He had an appointment at Barrow Neurological Institute and the docs there say he is officially ready for their rehab program.  However, it will take a lot of pushing, cutting of red tape, and positive energy to make it happen.  There is a huge waiting list with patients from St. Joseph’s being at the top of it.

Each day, Blaine shows us how much more he is capable of.  He is almost mobile in his wheel chair.  A little more therapy, and he will be wheeling himself around in no time.  He is aware that he has limitations and that he has to work really hard to overcome them.

He had a lot of visitors today!  When he found out how many people were coming, he told his mom and sister, “I have to call Teresa and tell her to get the house ready!”  He is so cute!

The next few months will be huge for Blaine.  If we can get him into the extensive therapy that he needs, we will be able to get a better idea of how much of his independence he can achieve.  Here’s hoping that the stars align and all fingers are crossed at the right moment!!

Thanks for being with us and keep the spirit!
