Discharged!!! Let the work begin...

This morning Marc got his walking papers from DHMC, and we were out of there! We packed him in the car and sent him off with Mom and Dad to check in for his rehab program. No word yet on how he is settling in. The program is based at FAHC on the Fanny Allen campus in Colchester and is very intensive, with three therapy sessions a day - a combination of occupational, speech, and physical therapy. Not much free time during the day, but it is good because the rigorous program will be good for him. He is looking forward to it actually! The days are pretty busy but there are visiting hours in the evening from 4-8 each day, and I am sure that if anyone wants to visit him he would love to see you! Click here for a map and directions to the campus.

We can be directly involved in the therapy process, so Mom and Dad have decided that they will live up there for as long as Marc is in the rehab program, which could be as little as a few weeks or as much as 3-4 months. No telling until he has been evaluated by their team and actually starts his therapy. They have still not found a place to stay (furnished room in house or small apartment, month-to-month) so if anyone has any ideas of where to look we are open to suggestions!
