Last night, I didn’t sleep well, and woke up later than usual, so got uptown late, and David was busy with Yvette his OT doing exercises.  He had a much better night, and was in good spirits.  We then worked with Minet, his PT and did some more walking with the brace.  It was great to see, and he gets more comfortable every day.  He also loves the nurses aide who is working with him today, so that was a relief, and the staff supervisors came by and talked to me about the issues over the weekend and assured me that they would identify the person who had made David so upset, and make sure that they were not working with him again.  Of course, the sad thing was that they were still going to be inflicted on another resident who may not be able to speak for themselves.

Yvette told me that there was going to be a meeting scheduled this week to talk about David’s progress and what the plan for brining him home will be.  I will keep you all posted on that.  David also made it clear that while he has made progress, he thinks that he is not quite ready for coming home yet, but we have a clear goal, and I have it in my view on the horizon.

We had a visit from Joy and were joined at the end by Frank Banton.  Both were great visits.  Oh, and by the way, after my lapse in memory last week, it came to me – Jane and Henry Burliss (sp?)

Heres a little video proof of David’s walking.
