Rocking out at Marlton Rehab

This picture is when we snuck Samantha into the hospital. The nurses let us bring her up a back elevator and slip into the room. She made his day!

Sorry for the delay in posting.. time got away from me! My dad was discharged to Marlton Rehab on Tuesday and has been doing well there. He has one more day of IV steroids and will then be put on a higher dose of oral steroids. They are going to keep him on that dose for awhile before weaning him. the docs are also going to do a brain biopsy in mid September just to make sure they're on the right track still. I'm not sure when a repeat MRI will be. They're going to give it some time, too, to see if the plasmapheresis worked.

At rehab, he's getting OT, PT and speech. Hopefully he'll be out of there by mid next week and then he'll be off to FLORIDA!!! Whoo hoo! It's looking promising right now that we'll all be a family in Santa Rosa Beach to celebrate my big 32nd birthday, Samantha's 8 month birthday, and a happy family together hopefully in good health.

He'd love visitors at Marlton, so if you're in the area, stop on by. He still has some frustration with in depth conversation and word finding, but it's improving every day. Just come with some patience!

My babysitter sent me this picture when I was away. What a great smile! And no more Ms. Scherree.... oh the story there. Ms. Whitney is watching Sam until mid Sept when Ms. Sarah will come on permanently.

Thanks for all your phone calls and emails!
