September 22

Isaiah heads to GF Strong on October 2nd to begin a intense and structured, daily rehabilitation program. We are all quite excited and nervous!  So grateful that God has lead him to this point. It's been six weeks living out of the hospital and Isaiah is doing quite well. He's well taken care of by some amazing families and individuals here. No, I'm not talking about us, lol. 

ACCEPTED !!!

After three months of waiting for a decision they said yes! Praise God from whom all blessings flow! Isaiah will be going to GF Strong Rehab Centre in the beginning of October. He will be an out-patient and we are still looking for a place for him to stay for six weeks. (Or eight? Not sure yet.) A tremendous thank you to Dr. Anton, medical director and Clinical Research Coordinator at GF Strong.  Another big thank you to Dr. Dance, Medical Site Lead and Brain Injury Physiatrist. I expect because he had met Isaiah and I personally, several times, that he had a lot of influence in the Director's decision.  Many, many thanks to the many doctors (family, ER, thoracic surgeon, cardiologist, neurologists, etc.), occupational therapists and physio therapists who, at my request, sent in their recommendations, referrals and opinions for Isaiah's rehab at GF Strong.  It was a fight worth fighting! Thank you to all of you who encouraged me to keep it up! You were right and I'm grate...

Day 22

IF Isaiah gets admitted to GF Strong it would be as an out-patient. It would also only be for a SIX week intense rehab program.  Do you have room in your home for Isaiah during these six weeks? He would be at GF Strong or commuting via Handi-dart five days a week.  He would hopefully continue having Home Support come in and help him shower, give meds, prepare breakfast and lunch, make his bed and anything else he might need.  Please prayerfully consider this.
