New rehab center and another postponed surgery

Clare is doing well, she is now in a new rehab facility and has started therapy with speech therapy, physical therapy, and occupational therapy. They are really structured with her therapy throughout the morning and afternoon and she seems to be exhausted by night. They have posted visiting hours from 5-9pm, but she seems so tired by that time that she usually has little energy to visit and still has to eat dinner. She likes to see people, but likes the visits to be short and is over-stimulated easily with more than 2 people.

Today she started reading with speech therapy and working with the computer. She did math, including multiplication and division, and remembered many other things. She says her left eye's vision is very blurry, which is opposite of what we thought would be the case because her right eye has been so dilated since the accident, but she can see out of both eyes which is a miracle.

The plan was to get her external fixators out today, but it was postponed (again). She has been on a blood thinner to prevent clots, and the message wasn't passed on to not give it in the couple days before surgery. Because of that blood thinner she would be very likely to bleed too much in surgery if she went in today. So the plan is next week... As we've thought about it we think it is probably a blessing to have the fixators another week, because her pelvis is considered stable with the fixators so she can begin to walk with physical therapy. Once the fixators are out, she will have to be non weight bearing on her right leg, which is very hard for neuro patients to do. She needs all the exercise she can get on that right leg while she can, so another week with the fixators is fine by us.

We realize this is a quick post, we will add more to it a little later. Just wanted to give a quick update.
