Good Morning Shelly,
Sorry that is taking me so long in between updates....As each day passes Todd continues to improve
The big turning point was when he was allowed to eat & drink, it`s like the nourishment of real food & drink has given him the additional strength he needed to "wake up" ???? For almost 2 weeks straight now he has been, for the most part aware & alert.... no more slipping in & out of a coma While he does recognise me each & every time he has no short term memory & is often confused on time. He knows that we own TNC Powder Coating yet often believes that we live in West Virginia.... he hasn`t lived there in over 15years. He also thinks he still has the Porsche, which he sold 4-5 years ago!!! He is still overwraught with emotion when he realises where he is & with no short term memory we are constantly reminding him of how much he has already accomplished
Our next step is getting him into a re-hab facility. There , as always, is alot of red-tape associated with this & we have "bit the bullet" & asked for a consult for the re-hab at this hospital... Pitt Memorial. Hopefully by next week he will be moved to that section of the hospital & we can begin on the road to getting him home. He is as determined as us to come home, however he does constantly tell me that " I want alot from him when he gets home" !!!!! He is working at moving his legs & using his stomach muscles however the pain is overwhelming at times. This is where re-hab & constant work-outs will make it easier for him. In my heart i believe that while we still have a long way to go that we are on the "home stretch" to getting him home
As always Thank You to everyone for their support, prayers & encouragement. As of yet i have not taken the lap top in however i have read the e-mails often to him. I believe that it will not be long before you will see a short post from him that we type from the hospital bed
Again Thank You.
