Journal entry by Jodi Thomas —
From Susan:
Banks has been at the Shepherd Center doing rehab, and he is doing really well! He is scheduled to start their outpatient program on Monday. We won’t know until next week how long he will be there. He still needs a “spotter” when he’s walking, but he hardly uses the wheelchair at all anymore. He is eating well and is gaining back some of the weight he lost in ICU. He is very grateful to be in this program and is working hard every day in his various therapies. He’s still struggling with a few cognitive things, like short term memory, but overall he is doing really well.
