Day 8 in Greenville

Kirstin again...We're awaiting word that the adjacent rehab center (called Roger C. Peace) has kicked someone out of their bed to make room for Jonathan to move in! They've had a waiting list, but it looks promising that he'll move in there today. In the meantime, physical therapists have been making visits to J here in the main wing of the hospital, but once he's in the rehab center there will be a gym to aid the therapy (not quite like the gym he's used to, of course). There will also be recreational therapy and occupational therapy.

In the rehab center he will have a more serious schedule. No more layin' around!! Each day he'll have 2 sesssions of physical therapy and 2 sessions of occupational therapy. He is only allowed visitors after 4:30, so he can focus on his rehab. To help with some mindless entertainment, the fabulous Scott Moore is working on getting a DVD player set up in there. We may have to sneak out with the one in THIS fancy room!! (Just kidding)

He is slowly seeing more and more movement. Each morning when he wakes up his legs and feet are a little more agile. But there is still a long road, and he's especially frustrated this morning. Pray for patience.

Thanks for all your notes and emails, I print the emails and pass them along to him! You can send more to me at kirstinwilliams@gmail.com.
