Bev was able to come home for the weekend, she suffers from car sickness so she takes gravol for both the trip home and the trip back to rehab. Bev cannot climb stairs to the second floor so we set up a bedroom in the dining room at the front of the house. Bev spent most of Saturday sleeping. We set up a small bed in the family room and Bev went from sitting in a chair to laying in the small bed most of Sunday and Monday. She was able to join visiting family members at the table for dinner both Saturday and Sunday. Bev was in good spirits all weekend. Bev will probably be able to come home every weekend from now on and hopefully be able to have more visitors.
There was a "family" meeting on Friday at Toronto Rehab, Bev, Kim and I attended. This was a meeting to review Bev's progress and determine further treatments. The staff of Toronto Rehab plus a representative from Rehab First, Bev's Case Manager and Bev's lawyer were present. Rehab First will be providing Bev's ongoing rehab once she is home. It was confirmed that Bev will be released from Toronto Rehab on July 12th. The staff at Toronto Rehab said that considering the extent of Bev's injuries they were surprised and pleased at the progress she was making but noted that she still had a very long way to go and that home treatment would be needed for a long time. On Monday afternoon someone came to assess the house to see what aids Bev will need right away as well as further down the road.
