Forrest has settled back in at Brightwood. We were so excited to see that Forrest's little detour to Washington Hospital Center did not result in any apparent physical or cognitive setbacks! His dedicated nurses from the Medical Team have been keeping a diligent eye on his new PICC line and incision sites, and a check up today with Dr Falkenstein resulted in a great report! It has been a busy few weeks with travels and visitors. Rae left Saturday for work in Malaysia, waving at Austin in the sky as he flew back from a conference in Hong Kong. Kent returned from a conference right before Forrest broke free from the hospital. Amazing Aunt Tricia left yesterday and we now are enjoying the help and company of the wonderful Aunt Lynn. We are so thankful for all the people that have been here during Forrest's journey to recovery!
Today, Forrest has been busy, with Music Therapy and school then some new physical/occupational therapy exercises with his team. He has been frequently sharing laughs with us and it is great to hear and see the laughter that sometimes shakes his whole body. He is currently engaged in a competetive game of chess with Austin. Forrest has only needed a few reminders of the rules, even though he has not played since before the accident. That's our champion!
Wow Forrest! Looking good! Keep up the awesome work bud. So glad to see you back at home and on track! Big hugs to you. XOXO. Laurie
ReplyDeleteI second Laurie's post; Wow Forrest! You continue to impress and inspire us Forrest, as does your team. Safe travels to your family. And good luck at beating your big brother at chess, if it isn't already happening :)
