Scott only spent one day in intermediate care. Yesterday around 5 p.m. they moved him into the rehabilitation unit at Utah Valley. They think that he is ready and strong enough to start working on gaining back strength and ability. The therapy will be very intensive. Scott looks so much better. The feeding tube is gone, the drains from his brain and his abdomen are gone. He still has the PIC line in, just in case they need to add meds. Last night, he was running a fever again, so the nurse gave him Tylenol capsules and a drink of water. It is great to see him be able to do that, instead of infusing into a line. The bandages of his head are gone, and he looks so good. The neck brace will have to stay for quite a while longer to make sure that the neck is stable. Taylee, Ryler and Kael got to see him for a minute, and they told me that he now looks like Daddy again. The schedule in the rehab unit will be very involved, and so they are discouraging any visitors. Visitors have to be immediate family, and then only for a short time and during special visiting hours. It is so wonderful to see the progress that he is making. Everyone is so optimistic about Scott. The nurse told us that this will be the hard part, so we are again asking for your prayers. Thanks again.
