Visit with Dr. Chen

We went to see Dr. Chen today. He was amazed at Mom's progress. It is rare for a patient to be so responsive in such a short time.

In 3 months, we will return to Dr. Chen. He expects her memory and left neglect to improve significantly. The next surgery will be performed after she has recovered more completely.

He recommended that Mom stay with Sonya and I so she can receive outpatient therapy from TIRR. We are fortunate to live so close to one of the best rehab centers in the country.

Mom should be released from TIRR within the next two weeks.

We are making preparations for Mom's arrival.

  1. Glad to hear the good news. Stephen. whatever choices you need to make will be the best ones. I also agree that she should not go to her house right now. It is a great idea for her to stay with you and Sonya.
    Thanks for the updates
