Thursdays are the day for consultations, this is were everyone (and I mean everyone) who is involved in your treatment comes in the room and talks about you!! There were about 8 doctors and therapists (glad he got a bigger room) gathered around. Fortunately Greg is doing so well they didn't have too much to say.....
They are submitting to the insurance to keep him here through next Wednesday, keep your fingers crossed they approve that long of a stay. If he stays here they can get so much more therapy in, and Justin (his occupational therapist you might see in the videos) thinks he will be able to get more control back for him.
Once he leaves here he will be going to Drake for therapy several times a week, but not everyday!! If things go right at Drake, he might be able to join the research program there - which would include a lot more therapy and follow-up than the normal patient.
Today, I asked Justin time frames - he told me that you get back the greatest percentage in the first 1 to 2 months. After that there is a bit of a plateau and the rest comes very slowly over the next year. Sounds like a diet to me!!
I will post a new video tonight of him using the Biones machine, that actually opens and closes his hand!!
