Tony had his evaluation at Rancho today. There was 1 doctor,2 physical therapists, 2 occupational therapists, 2 speech therapists, and a phychiatrist. The were all there to observe Tony as they asked him several questions for about 2 to 3 hours. After the group session was over we were told that they expected Tony to make an excellent recovery!!!! So fantastic to hear! I could tell he has made a lot of progress since he came home but it was good to hear the prognosis from a professional. After the group session he spent about 20 minutes with one therapist from each division. In those sessions he was given more tests in order to better individualize his rehab. Tony's therapy will be much more advanced than the therapy that is normally given because he is very intelligent. He is not suffering from depression or anger issues, nor does he have any desire to take drugs or drink alcohol so they decided the phychotherapy wasn't necessary. Tony is so happy and thankful to God just to be alive!
His therapy sessions will be on Mondays and Wednesdays from 8am until 12. They should last from 2 to 3 months and they will call us as soon as they have a start date on the schedule. Most likely that will be in 1 to 2 weeks. He will also be seeing a neurooptomolagist about his left eye. I want to thank all of you again for your prayers. We know they are the reason he is doing so well and we thank God for all that he has done for us. Please continue to pray for Tony as he enters this next phase of his recovery. May God Bless all of you!
