Upcoming Transfer

Scott is scheduled to transfer to a skilled nursing facility tomorrow.  Jen and Kay toured one facility to get an idea of what to expect.  It seems there are a number of places he could go - and after some research Jen was able to provide a prioritized list of places she would like him to go to - but ultimately he will go where there is a bed available (which changes daily).  As of this afternoon medical staff were unable to say where or when on Friday he would go.

It has been a relatively quiet few days around the hospital which, after multiple procedures last weekend, has been a welcome change.  Scott is resting a lot but was awake a good part of the afternoon today.  He was able to participate in physical therapy and was awake during visits from Jen, Kay and a friend and neighbor, Jason.  In fact, when Jason was leaving the hospital, Scott even gave a wave.

During his awake time Scott is looking around and is focusing his attention on things.  He is not yet able to communicate, but this will come.  He is starting to show expressions of some emotions and Jennifer said yesterday he was even tapping his foot to the music.

  1. Re: toe tapping, 3 CDs of the podcast coming to the house, Jen. I put an isolated drum track of John Bomham on one of the CDs if Scott wants to rock out.
