General update

Figured I’d also provide a general status update.  We’re not sure where we’re heading next.  And we’re not sure when “next” is at this point.  Chris is too young for a nursing home to take him, but the hospital and his insurance are balking about him staying at Texas NeuroRehab (a long-term acute care facility).

Last night was shower night for Chris (done by my mom and one of the hospital techs, John);  Chris always looks very relaxed after getting cleaned up in the shower chair.  My girlfriend Maria and her dad came down to the hospital last night, too – always good for Chris to see and hear new people.  We left around 22:15 – Chris was conked out.

Along those lines, and I suppose while we’re still at Texas Neuro:  I’d like to encourage folks to visit Chris this weekend.  We’re doing the moto thing on Sunday, but we’ll naturally be there all weekend with Chris (weekend visiting hours are noon-9pm).

Visitors are great for Chris, and for us, too – sometimes feels kinda lonely out there, especially for my parents, since they aren’t from Austin.  Living in an RV park off of I-35 doesn’t lift your spirits, ya know?  (and yeah, we all lived in my apartment at the start of the move to Austin, but it’s 22 miles from the hospital…  in Austin rush hour traffic)
