Hello everyone. I know I have not been very good in keeping my monthly updates, partly because I did not feel like there was much to share. However, please feel free to email me at Ivy-Vetor@tmail.com if you want to contact me directly to get more information about my brother.
So far Drew is adjusting to life at home very well. It has not been easy on my family. Sadly, it's a very slow recovery instead of the quicker recovery we had hoped for. When he was truly on the way to improving between mid-October to sometime in January, we thought it would continue. His doctor believed that he would have a full recovery but now no one really knows what will happen now. All we can do is give it a lot of time. There IS hope. It just will take time.
My brother continues to go to rehab everyday from 8 to 5 pm Monday to Friday with Ranken Jordan. From my visits with him (April for Easter break and May for Mother's Day), he has not changed much. He is walking more though with the help of someone and is still working on trying to move his right side better. It is a very slow recovery. He is taking more tests to determine how long it would take for him to recover and to better understand his condition to understand what he needs to improve on. He has short term memory, which means, when you sit with him, you can start to have a conversation with him but then he starts to repeat things over and over.
It will be a very unpredictable time for Drew. Please continue to show your support in any way you are able. You are more than welcome to visit Drew at home or to give him a call on VP (video phone), he will love that. He absolutely loves company.
God Bless,
Alex
