Day 36 hour 9
Tony went on his computer for the first time since the accident. Unfortunately I don't know if the rehab center has wifi so he couldn't get onto the internet. We watched a next generation star trek episode on it which he picked out and started on his own. Hopefully tomorrow they will do their evaluation of him and we can get him on a schedule. I really want to see them work on his eating so he can get the tach and the feeding peg removed. Tony is also wanting to try and walk again.
Day 35 hour 11
Tony had a good day today. He was talking a lot more and his memory recall was also getting better. Phyllis was in to see him and they had a really nice visit. Tomorrow is there free day so no physical therapy. I'm really wanting to get through the physical therapy so we can bring him home.

Day 34 hour 18
getting ready to go to the rehab center. From the physical therapist in Fresno I found out a little bit of what will probably happen in rehab. He should have about 3 hours a day six days a week of intense rehab. After an accident like Tony's the brain looses a lot of pathways to information. It's like a hiking trail in tall grass that easily shows you the way to go. When the grass is mowed you have to make new paths to connect that get stronger with repetition. The therapist said eventually they will probably have Tony do things like walk and juggle at the same time to re stimulate multitasking abilities. Right now Tony is in a phase where these paths are starting to re-connect but sometimes the information gets crossed so the mind will try and make sense of it by piecing different memories together and fabricate a conclusion. His brain is also working on getting normal functions going like getting up to go to the bathroom. (which he is not allowed to do yet because he is not stable enough for it to be safe.) so he can get obsessed with wanting to do that. He has a long way to go but every day I can see some progress.

Day 35 hour 10
Tony transferred to Rancho Los amigos this afternoon. I just got home from the hospital a few minutes ago. It's been a very long day. Hopefully we will be able to talk to someone at the rehab center soon and get more of an idea of what will come next. Tony has come a long way but he still has a long way to go.

Tony has been quiet all day today. He is in some pain from the peg feeding tube operation. they just changed out his tracheotomy tube so he is one step closer to being able to get that out. sounds like he will be getting transferred by ambulance tomorrow to Rancho Los Amigos in Downey. He is looking forward to getting closer to being home.
