We had our last family meeting yesterday. The Dr’s and Therapies were thrilled with his progress and are excited about his future. Mike continues to fight with initiation and where his body is in space. This appears to be one of the biggest hurdles that he has to over come but as always, Mike is up for the battle with a great attitude and outlook. Mike will have a procedure on Monday afternoon to turn the clot filter. We hope that this will be the last turn of the filter and the next procedure will be to remove the filter. Mike has come very far in his progress but he has a very long way to go.

The plan for the next several weeks is for him to be discharged Friday January 4^th and start in-home therapy Saturday January 5^th. He will have three hours of therapy three days a week. After completing the in-home therapy, he will be enrolled into an outpatient DayOne program at Mt Vernon that will help him transition back into the community.
