We are happy to report that Nick has finally left the hospital and has been transferred to The Rehabilitation Institute of St. Louis (TRISTL).  This took longer to happen because of some difficulties in getting a fluctuating blood pressure issue under control, which kept Nick in the hospital longer than we originally anticipated.  Now the doctors are confident that his blood pressure is well regulated, so he’s ready to take on his occupational therapy and physical therapy in earnest at TRISTL, starting tomorrow.  

TRISTL is the best rehab hospital in the area and we are sure he will receive the best care.  We do not know how long Nick will be at TRISTL, although we are expecting it to be a month or so, followed by continued rehab on an outpatient basis.

We appreciate all of your best wishes, prayers, and continued support for Nick and his family.

P.S. Just uploaded a picture taken today of Nick, who no longer needs his neck brace (thank goodness).  Check it out in the Gallery tab.
