Currently due to his condition and being in ICU, Connor is not accepting any visitors at this time.

 Theres not much going on today. Connor spent from midnight to 5 am in an agitated state. So they are letting him rest this morning. PT should be coming around soon to put him in his chair. The attending doctor this week changed his meds up a little. Really nothing new to report.

19 months out

Image
I haven't posted here in a while, so I thought I would put a picture up of Connor.  It has been 19 months since Connor's accident.  He is still experiencing seizures from time to time.  That is the biggest thing that he is battling.  He has been doing LENS neurofeedback once a week since October 2018 and we have seen significant improvement in his seizures and his life.  Beginning in January, he went back to work part-time and he has started to have a social life again.  He is still not 100%, but I'd say he's 95%, so he still has a ways to go, but with neurofeedback and his will to live, he will get there.   When this accident first happened, the drs and nurses all told us it would be a long road to recovery.  They told us it would be 2-3 years.  We just couldn't imagine what they were saying and how that could be, but darned if it isn't approaching 2 years already!  Recovery has been an excruciatingly slow process since he got out ...

Sunday, Sunday

Currently due to his condition and being in ICU, Connor is not accepting any visitors at this time. Lazy Sundays are nice to have, can't wait to enjoy them at home in lieu of Hotel Emmanuel. Connor has spent today napping off and on while getting a chance to see his brother and sister along with Mama and Papa who dropped by. Great to see him reach for them and have recognition on his face.  He will stay one more night in ICU due to it being Sunday (no moves apparently on the weekend) and the Hotel is full until some of the guests start checking out tomorrow morning.  They did change out his trach tube to a smaller size to continue his transition off utilizing this equipment and back to breathing through his mouth/nose again.  He is sleeping peacefully and his relaxed face is reflecting the healing that we are seeing in his brain. Hard to have him sleep while we are there, as we want to be talking with him and having him reacting to our conversation. But we also kn...

Home Run

Connor can have visitors on a 1-on-1 basis and they need to go through Shan.  He has been asking to see his friends. So if anyone would like to visit, please make arrangements with Shan.  360-984-4780 Well, it has been some kinda day today with Connor.  After sleeping well overnight (as well as you can in a hospital), Connor consumed his first breakfast in 5 weeks - chopped French toast, puréed eggs, yogurt and keifer.  He then went off to rehab where Dana, his therapist got him out of the wheelchair for his first steps. They proceeded over the next 30min to walk up and down the walkway with rails for an impressive three trips. By the end of the third trip, Connor was exhausted and sweating from working himself to the bone. His therapist was blown away by the progress over this week, she has been with him all week and has seen him go from barely balancing on the side of the bed to now walking.  Next up was his first lunch in 5wks which he proceeded to fa...
