Today Greg moved out of his hospital room and into the VA! Matt and I were able to meet Judy, Wendy, and Greg there and see him into his new room. It is so clean, everyone is so friendly, the equiptment is fantastic! It is going to be wonderful! Greg is so happy to be out of the hospital and looking forward to meeting new faces in his new facility!
Medically Greg is doing really well, he is improving everyday and even got to make some phone calls to his family members on his cell phone. He has feeling on both of his sides down to his bellybutton and has feeling all the way down on his left side. He is more himself now, can remember faces and short recent periods of time. He still is sorting things out in his mind, has some issues swallowing at times and such- but he is making leaps and bounds constantly. We are all so very proud of him and impressed by his strength.
His grandkids can all visit him at the VA in his room, they are very family friendly- So Montgomery and Winifred got to see him in his hospital bed for the first time today! We look forward to many more visits and watching him improve daily!
I was talking to Wendy today and she said that at the VA they will keep you there until you are recovered to the level YOU want (unlike the hospital where they recover you just enough to send you home). She told Greg that and asked him what he wanted from this. His response was "I want to walk out of here." It will take some hard work, but I have faith that he can and he will reach his goal.
