I had a meeting with our case worker today at the hospital. He basically just went over the process of all the different therapies and what to expect going forward. I've mentioned before that his insurance company will only approve 10 days at a time for Kevin to stay at this rehab center and he has to continue to show that he is progressing in order to be recomended for another 10 days. Today marked Kevin's 7th day and the case worker will fax over documentation tomorrow to the insurance company recommending another 10 day stay. Lets pray that our insurance company approves it and allows us to continue moving forward as we have done so well so far.
Since I got there earily today for the meeting, I also got to peek in on Kevin in action with the Physical therapist and Occupational therapist. I saw him laying on the mat doing his stretches, I even saw him sitting up supporting himself with his good arm...and get this.. THE BOY MADE A FIST WITH HIS RIGHT HAND!!!! If thats not a miracle, then I dunno what is. This was the first time he moved anything on his right side since the vasospasms in the first week. I got to help him take a shower today and they encouraged me to come up there earlier a couple days a week to take part in the therapy with him since these are things they will have to teach me to continue to do at home. Looking forward to being more hands on and understanding of the care he's getting and how to continue it at home. I love this place, the people are so wonderful and they truly become a 2nd family to you. Don't forget to thank God as he continues to bless our family in sooooo many ways.
Love Kim
