10 days

Target date for dismissal from in-patient rehab: September 29th, only 10 days away. Woo hoo! (Also, *heavy sigh*, because this means that although he'll be home, he still has a long way to go and needs a lot of care...)

I'm going to Phoenix in two weeks to help out. Even though he'll be home, he'll have a 3-hour daily appointment at the same rehab hospital to continue his therapy. Upon my departure, Jenny will come and take over. Then hopefully he'll be able to stay home alone and have therapists come to the house to continue, or we'll have to arrange for day-long in-home supervision by a CNA or something. Not quite sure what that would be. His doctors keep telling mom that basically someone needs to be home with him 24/7 and he needs to do all his rehab at a rehab facility (which is understandable), but this isn't exactly realistic because 1) Jenny and I aren't able to move in and 2) mom still needs to work. So now we're trying to find practical, real world solutions to this predicament.

Got to keep this short because I've got to go book my plane tickets and work on a little sewing project for dad. :)
