Wednesday March 2nd

Hi Everyone.  Today is a quiet day at the Rehab center.  Keith has finished 2 sessions of PT and OT and Speech Therapy.  He ate a big lunch and even enjoyed one of Chief Esparza's wife's fabulous cookies.  He is resting watching TV.  His demeanor has changed a bit today.  He is acting a little childish and smiling a lot which is nice to see.  He loved seeing our dog yesterday and I really think animals have such a gentle healing nature.  They have told us he will probably be here another 3 weeks before being released into outpatient rehab.  I am feeling so blessed to have him alive and looking like the man I married. Thank you to everyone that is helping our family through this difficult time.  I am amazed at how everyone has just been there at the right time.  I am going to try to have visitors (poss 2 per day) start coming during the down time after his therapy is completed. Visiting during the peak hours of his therapy is too tiring for him.  Each day we receive the schedule in the morning so once I know it we can post the best time for visitors. Pat Gabler is going to help me organize visitors (760)220-1024. I am looking forward to seeing all of you and so is Keith...Thank you for your prayers for 100% recovery.
