Fred is on regular schedule now, with therapy both in the morning and in the afternoon. His therapists say that he is doing great. They are especially impressed by how well he is responding at this early stage. Helen says that she can already see improvement.
An overview of the rehab program can be found here.
Also, if anyone would like to stop by for a brief visit, Fred is in Room 311 at Baptist Health Medical Center. If he is not in the room when you come by, check the rehab center on the main floor. Helen says that the therapists are working him very hard so visits need to be kept to a quick hello.
Once again, we are so thankful for everyone's calls, comments, and emails. They have been an important part of this healing process. We also feel grateful for all the incredible medical professionals at UAMS and at Baptist Health. The care they have given Fred has been exceptional.
Most of all, we are thankful for Fred.
Posted by Red Chuck at November 23, 2005 02:50 PMDear Fred and Helen: I am so happy that you are at Baptist Rehab, Fred. That is where I ended up after my wreck in Nevada 4-5 years ago when I came out of the coma and was jetlifted home....I grew to not only appreciate the place, but to actually like it. I will stop by the week after Thanksgiving....if only to see if you are up yet for an "easy" read, Fred. As you improve Fred, it gets fun: scooting around in the wheelchair, going down to the "gym" to go through easy obstacle courses: GREAT staff....GOOD show! Love to you both, FRED
