Hello Everyone,
Sorry for the length of time between updates but things have become somewhat routine. John is going to school 3 days a week and continues to work hard at therapy. His speech is getting much better to the point that even someone not living in the household can understand much of the things he has to say. And believe me he has a lot to say.
Today we received great news. After some discussion with the insurance company, and those that know me sometimes the discussion became somewhat heated, they have approved John for a 2 week trial in a rehab facility that specializes in TBI.
We are so very excited because we know that after 2 weeks and revaluation that John will be able to continue to stay there and learn more and more for the recommended 3 to 5 months.
We really feel that with daily physical therapy, as well as speech therapy, and occupational therapy that John will make a huge step toward being an independent person.
John is so very excited. John has continued to demonstrate that he is all about learning, and trying hard to make his life more and more "normal".
What is so funny the doctor at the insurance company felt that there is no true rehabilitation for cognitive function. Well that Dr. hasn't met John.
John is literally rewriting the book in many fields here in Amarillo that you can learn cognitive skills daily. If you don't believe me ask just one of his teachers.
As with his stay at OCH his visitors will be limited and must be approved by me or Cindy. Because of some other issues we will not disclose the location of this facility in this forum.
We are very excited. This is one battle that is behind us. We know that John will show that Dr. from the insurance company just how old school his thinking is.
I can never say this enough, thank you all for your support your love and your prayers.
At this time I ask that on this 4th of July that you be safe, and please remember those that have fought, and continue to fight to keep this country free.
May God Bless you all
Dean, Cindy and family
