Happy Halloween! Today was Mark's last workday in acute care. What a treat!! On Monday, he officially enters the Polytrauma Transitional Program. We had our group meeting yesterday and the therapists, doctors and nurses from both teams met with us to officially hand off the baton, namely Mark.
We were sorry to let go of some of the wonderful therapists, such as Jim, Earlene, Kathryn and Carrie, but we are acquiring some we already know as well as some we look forward to becoming friends with. Unfortunately, the program is not yet completely staffed as far as nursing so he and the others cannot move into the new building. What a trick! He will remain in his current room but participate in the program. Mark is excited to be starting this new phase and we ask for your continued prayers as he starts this important journey.
One of the best things that was decided at the meeting was that Mark can be granted leave to come home for Christmas. We confirmed all this today with the Army and he and Jess will be travelling to Cleveland for almost two weeks. We are so excited. We plan to hold some kind of open house so that we can have friends drop by to say hello. We will keep everyone posted.
