Doctor's Visit Results

Mom had her appointment with her neurologist this morning. Again we were told how lucky we are and that even with the CT scans done recently Mom is doing amazing for how much damage was done.

As soon as the hematologist and cardiologist sign off on the surgery they will be putting her skull plate back in. They said as far as neuro-surgeries go this is fairly simple. At this point we're looking at late July for a surgery date. Sadface, I know.

At rehab tomorrow Fonte Surgical will be there to fit Mom for a new wheelchair - one not so low to the ground. They think it will help the muscles regain some of its function. Her physical therapist is also going to try using a walker with a platform on the right side with the hope that it will be more stable for Mom. This means she has to be able to do weight bearing on her right side. I haven't seen it done, but Bronte says Mom enjoyed it and they'll definitely be trying it again.

That's all for now folks!
