Discharged soon!

I'm sorry it's taken me so long to update! Ryan is doing amazingly well. So well that they're talking about discharging him within a week! They've yet to give us an exact date (which makes things frustrating), but the word is that he'll be released very, very soon. I'm in the process of getting him an appointment with a primary care doctor, because he will need to have one set in place (or at least an appt. scheduled) with one before he's released. The primary doctor will be the one doing the follow-up maintenance care (such as prescription management). Ryan will be doing outpatient rehab through the hospital, but we're not sure of the frequency of that yet.

We're still trying to find an apartment here in Syracuse, so until that comes through I'm going to try & set it up so Ryan can stay at Sarah House. They have downstairs handicap bedrooms that will be perfect for him until we get everything else settled. Also, I'm still having to run back & forth between Watertown for various appointments, so as long as he doesn't have something scheduled, he can come & stay at home with me in the apartment during those times.

We are so happy that his stay in the hospital is almost over. He couldn't be more excited about getting out of here. I'll update just as soon as I/we have some more info about his exact discharge date. =)
