So far today

The procedure went okay ~ no complications. Randy was pretty out of it for most of the morning due to the pain medication the gave him. Once he came awake, though, he has been non stop action! His eyes have been open for quite awhile. His hands are going everywhere! He got a good grip on his neck brace and almost pulled it off. All he got, though, was one of the pads. He pulled it out then put it in his teeth and wouldn't let go.

I want to thank everyone for all of their input on facilities. We are checking up on all recommended using the websites that Gregg provided. A lot of them, though, deal mainly with elderly patients and not so much brain injury. The ones that I have gotten back as dealing with brain injury are: Highline Hospital in Tukwila (they have some skilled nursing beds), Seattle Medical & Rehab, and Hallmark Manor in Federal Way.

Randy's mom and I will start visiting them tomorrow when Randy's sister is here to sit with him.
