Day 69

Scott says the home eval went well. I say it was amazing!
For anyone who's been to our house, you know it's full of stairs inside and out! I was really worried. I thought we would have to set up a make shift bedroom in our living room... NOT the case... he navigates stairs very well! No problems going up to our room, hooray. We wont have to make any changes to the house for him other than an extra hand rail on the bathtub.
It was so exciting seeing Scott chill in his chair. I can't wait in 5 days he'll be there all the time!
Our drive way & back yard were also concerns. The driveway is extremely steep and the back yard is full of hills and stone steps. He walked around enjoying the scene (slowly) without any troubles.
The rest of the time he's here the therapists will be working on helping him get stronger based on what they saw at the house today. Oh this is so exciting! It's so wonderful to see his body catching up to his mind. I still am shocked at how he has remained the same person mentally after such a traumatic brain injury. He sure may look different... hehee mountain man Scott... but his personality is not different.
