Jack was moved from Methodist to the Seton St Vincent Rehab Center on 86th Street. The website for the new facility he has moved to for those interested in checking it out is http://seton.stvincent.org He is in room 267 for anyone who wants to visit. Visiting hours end at 9:00 P.M.
Unfortunately he is still fighting the pneumonia :( The new facility is confident they will be able to get that taken care of this week. This new facility is all about rehab and for the first month their goal is to get him off the feeding tube and breathing on his own so that the tracheotomy can be reversed.
Some good uplifting news: He has woken up a few times this week and has even eaten some ice. He shook his head 'no' briefly when asked if he wanted more ice which gives us hope that he didn't lose his understanding of speech. He has also tried to talk several times but this is not possible until the trach is removed so we won't know how his speech is for at least another month.
We all feel confident that now that Jack is out of Methodist and into rehab, his progress will just get better and better (even though we are SO grateful for all that the staff, doctors and nurses have done for him at Methodist the past two weeks!). As always, I will keep you all posted with this blog!
Thanks again for all of the thoughts and prayers, they are still needed and appreciated! Happy Easter weekend!
