Well I am hoping this will go threw this time, just having so many problems with the blog not for sure what the problem is yet so I apologize। Well were to begin I guess I start with the rehab। We did get started Monday as scheduled but we ran into a problem, this facility is not set up for someone wearing diapers they can take her to the bathroom but if they need to change her for other reasons they do not have anywhere private enough to change her, so we had to stop going until they find another facility that can change her when needed. Plus they did not have the equipment she needed all they had was a stand, this is were they get her to stand in a one spot standing position for 10 to 15 minutes at a time so hopefully they will call me tomorrow with more information. We went to see the orthopedic doctor yesterday and he has ordered another MRI of her right arm because of it only going shoulder high and then she stops. We got to see the arm with the rod in it and it has healed nicely he said that they would not take the rod out until she starts having problems with it. We also seen the color bone which where it was broke it grew back together on top of the other part so her collar bone is a inch shorter than the other one, we asked if that may be why she is having problems with her right one but he said no, so that is why we are getting another MRI, it looks like to me it would hurt grown together like that but I don’t know. And tonight we got a call from Dr. Morris on her MRI and he read it to and just basically told me she still has a lot of damage in her brain, that she was really hurt as far as the brain, more than he was told by reports before, that he got from St. John’s, and I told him the good news about her talking and saying all she has. He basically told that was good news but to not get my hopes to far ahead of myself, that he has every confidence that she will come out of this, but it is not going to be something that happens overnight that she still is doing a lot of healing in the brain and it is going to take awhile. He said she will never be her old self, but she will become a new Stacey, he also told me not to get my hopes to high as far as rehab. that this was another process that was going to take another 7 to 12 months. It is just so hard sometimes you get your hopes up and the doctors are there to let you down. But I know it is for my own good that I don’t start expecting more than I should, but I am still going to keep my hopes high, I do believe the lord has given me a sign not to give up and I’m not, not for a long time, he has given me the sign to keep my faith and I am, no matter how hard it gets, and trust me at times it really gets hard. She is still saying a lot of things still, her older brother came home Tuesday she did not recognize him at first but then she started talking to him, and then she even told us his middle name which was really shocking, Rusty was a little chocked up at first when he seen her but he got over it and he tries real hard every day to be a big part of her daily activity, and he has been a great help to me and Ray, it’s nice to have him home. So I guess tonight that is all so if everything goes good I will update Sunday. Thank You and God Bless.
