Mar 25th 8:45 AM

Bev had a series of x-rays Thursday morning. The doctor came by in the afternoon and said that Bev's bones are all healing quickly including the left arm. He sees no need to operate on Bev's left arm at present as it may do more harm than good. Bev will be able to start physiotherapy on her left arm today.  She will be able to weight bear on her right leg next week and physio will start getting her up on 2 feet.  Bev is scheduled to have the trachea breathing tube removed on Monday. At that time she will be put on a waiting list for a long term care facility. The doctors have decided that Bev will need neurological rehabilitation as well as physical rehabilitation. This level of care is not provided in York Region and is only available at 3 facilities in Toronto. The wait time is usually about 3 weeks.  If Bev still has to be in isolation the wait time could be longer. In the meantime physiotherapy and occupational therapy will continue at St. Mikes.  There may be permanent damage to Bev's right eye.
