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.
Thank you very much for the update. All of Christian and Alisa's friends in Petaluma are concerned and sending love and prayers for their family.
