29 Sept - Standing Tall
I talked to Henry tonight on the phone. He stood for the first time on his own today. It started by the therapist and Barb holding him, then a few minutes later they helped him up and let go while Henry stood by himself. They then repeated it a third time in the hour. He said it was good to wear shoes again and stand but it was very tiring. Great to hear though. It is now expected that he will be home before Halloween. A long road yet to go but going home would do wonders for Henry. Everyone keep their fingers crossed and pray that he makes his Halloween homecoming.

He's moved on up to the top to a deluxe room in Health South
Well Henry is in his (private) room at Health South. His schedule is very precise and crucial to his physical and occupational therapies. Health South has very strict visiting hours M-F 3-8pm and Sat-Sun 10-8pm.
Basically from what we know he has a very busy schedule other than during visiting hours. The doctors, therapists and Henry are working very hard to build his muscles so he can start moving on his own etc. We all know the common goal is for Henry to get back to as normal life as possible or better. It has not quite been a week so we have not got any details as to how he is feeling or progressing yet. Dan did speak with him on Wednesday evening and he was in good spirits and looking forward to the work ahead of him knowing that is what is going to get him back home. Although he did mention at that point he was none to impressed with the nursing staff but liked the doctors and therapists.
Any visitors and all phone calls need to adhere to the visiting hours schedule. Please keep in mind he has to eat lunch and dinner in the dining room. We are not sure when dinner typically is Henry could tell you if you call.
