A big day ahead

Good Saturday morning:

Well things are really on track for Greg this weekend.  His progress, as evident on the video on Thursday, is beyond all of our expectations.

When a room is available he will be moving to the 10th floor, the regular neuro floor, and out of the ICU. His stay there will most likely be short, and he will be heading to Spaulding/ Boston to begin the rehab phase of this adventure.  This will change things for his family as we will have to abide by new visitation rules that allow time for his work in therapy. I may not be able to be with him for breakfast anymore and may actually have to go to work in the morning.  I was kind of enjoying my banker's hours.

Leaving the ICU will not be a big adjustment for Greg but it will be HUGE for the rest of us. He has no understanding of the last month, the staff here, or the impact they have had on our life.  Leaving this unit will be both joyful and sad as we feel we are leaving friends behind.  I know we will see them again.

Medically Greg is really doing well.  He continues his pleasant state of confusion.  Moving to Spaulding will get him started on his physical and cognitive therapy.  Although it will be different than the past five weeks, we will embrace a new challenge and continue our support for Greg and his family.  I know that everyone following and rooting for Greg will do the same.

Have a great weekend

Mike
