Today was another big day for Bob. After 39 days in the ICU, today Bob was transferred to the Stroke Unit. The objective of being in the stroke unit is to increase his physical therapy and start the initial stages of rehabilitation. Bob has been the most active these past few days. He continues to make more eye contact each day. Again today he nodded to answer questions.
Although we are all extremely excited about Bob's new location in the hospital, he still is too weak for visitors. I know there are many of you that want to visit Bob and tell him that you are thinking about him, but for now we ask that you wait until he has more strength and energy. I will continue to give daily updates on his progress and will definitely let you know as soon as he is able to have visitors. For now, please use the comment section of the blog. Family members at the hospital will continue to read them to Bob and ultimately all comments and blog posts will end up in a book made for Bob to look back on this journey.
Continued thanks for all the positive thoughts and prayers...they are all so powerful.
I was there when they moved Uncle Bob to the new room. He has a nice window and he turned his head to the left to look out - progress! I know that he will continue to make progress from the Stroke Unit. The staff at the hospital is doing a wonderful job and the prayers continue to work.
