Well Walt is wide awake and keeping the staff at Strong hopping! Rick and I called in this morning on the way to the airport (Rick was leaving on another business trip). When we arrived at Walts room it looked like a party. He was awake and talking. Some of it we could understand.
He asked Rick for a knife to cut the restraints and was not happy when told that he couldn't. He then asked to talk to Patty on the phone but when she gave him a scolding about behaving himself he said goodbye and handed the phone back to me. We were all so excited to see him feeling better after the nightmare couple of weeks. The staff were wonderful with him, they seemed as happy as we were to see him awake.
His short term memory is affected at the moment so he does not seem to remember why he is there and is wanting to get out of bed. This means that he needs to have people with him constantly or the staff will have to sedate him which then slows down the whole therapy process. Perhaps we could start a shedule so that we can cover as much time as possible. Let me know if you can put in some time. my email is cepetterson@rochester.rr.com .
Now we hope that he stays well enough to begin the rehabilitation process.
Love to all
Corinne

Patty, Lindsay, and Brian,
We have been checking this blog daily to see how things are going. We wish so much that we could be there to visit Walt and help out. You sure have lots of family and friends supporting you, and we know that you have great neighbors!
