Hi Friends,
Sorry it has been a while.  Keith is continuing to recover at a steady pace.  Yesterday I spoke with the Neuropsychologist and he was smiling when he said "Im so impressed with how he is coming along."  He said that Keith will continue to progress rapidly in the next 3-6 months  Stroke victims do continue to improve as the years go on. Keith has been given an extension and will not be coming home on the 24th.  He is doing so well with the Therapy they want to continue.   The biggest issue right now is that Mr. Keith is getting quite confident with his wheelchair transfers and thinking he can just move around all the time.  This is really dangerous for him right now, his risk of falling is high.  They had to move his room right across from the nurses station to keep close tabs on him.  I am going to need more help starting next week.  As much as Keith doesn't want visitors his safety is the most important thing. I am there until about 3 each day, but I will need a single person to come around 4 or 5(M-F) and just stay maybe an hour.  This is his down time and he may sleep but if not he needs a walk( in the wheelchair) outside or just a change of scenery.  He is bored with the food choices so if you could bring him something healthy or homemade as a snack that would be great.  No fried or spicy food please.   I will put Pat Gabler back in charge of making a schedule.   Thank you for your continued prayers.  God is an awesome healer!!
Love,
Julie
