Friday 18 Nov 2011 -homecoming

We left the behind Pitt Memorial Hospital, the rehab team and Greenville today! It is what we looked forward to day after day and now after nearly 2 months, it all feels sorta weird and sureal...we will miss many people and will visit them again. The best news today is that there are no special equipment needs, no handicap stickers, no special meds, helmets or braces. No special diet, home or auto modifications or other supports. Alex will have outpatient PT 2x's weekly and in home classes til next semester. She does need supervision in terms of safety for awhile as a fall for her would be far worse than one for most of us. She will follow up w/an ENT specialist to examine the status of her vocal chords as her voice remains whispery, but otherwise clear, which is not uncommon. Her brain is still healing and will be so for several months...we will continue seeing progress up to a year out, although she has done so well so fast, she does not have much more to go. Thank you for all your prayers and support. Please send out good thoughts for a positive back home adjustment and continued progress.

    Yippie, We are so happy for her. Just a thought, but maybe for less worry you might consider putting her bedroom downstairs, so she doesn't have to clime stairs unless it's for a shower. Something to think about. We love you all so very much. Heaps of blessings, love you, mom and dad
