Progress in week 5

Christian is finishing up his final week at TIRR. He  no longer has to wear his neck brace.  The back brace will remain on for another 7 weeks.  He is walking with little assistance.  Christian cleared his post tramatic amnesia test last Thursday. He will now be able to begin laying down new memories. He is still experiencing the confusion and it can last for several more weeks into months.

Christian will be moving on to Mentis Neuro Rehabilitation on October 19th. This is a post acute facility where he will be living for 1-3 months depending on his progress.

Thank you to everyone for your continued support and the amazing turnout t the dine and donate night at beyond the glory.

3 Week Update

It has been three full weeks since Christian has been at TIRR. This week he passed his swallow test, started writing words (not in a straight line and on the messy side) and walking with assistance. He is still very confused and still suffering from post traumatic amnesia. With him passing the swallow test he is now able to eat a modified chopped diet. With the traumatic brain injury the biggest progress will be made between 3-6 months with slow continued progress after that up to a year. No projecting his outcome as each brain recovers differently. 

The tentative release date from TIRR is October 19th, If insurance approves they are recommending he be moved to a post acute facility where he will live from 1-3 months with continued Rehab. 

Alisa continues to participate in his daily therapy's and the boys are still visiting on the weekends.
