looking to the future

Just a quick update…through recent x-rays, it appears that Mike’s spine is beginning to curve with the weakened right-side posture and we were surprised to discover that he had also received an injury to his neck from the accident.  He’ll be seeing a chiropractor for adjustments to his spine three times a week for a couple of months.  Not sure where it will lead but we’re hopeful that it’s the right direction.

We had an appointment to tour the Adapt Clubhouse this morning in Alexandria.  The Clubhouse is a state funded program from Brain Injury Services that offers a supportive environment fostering productivity for persons with brain injuries. Without a BIS case manager we’re on our own trying to feel out options and looking for direction. Mike is ready. He needs more than in-home rehab at this point so we’re searching the web, putting out feelers and praying for guidance. Is The Clubhouse the answer? Probably not, but it’s a start. Mike is high functioning - there’s a big difference. The Clubhouse will give him more than he has at home, but he is ready for so much more.
