We are on the final count down to shawn returning home! Shawn is doing amazing, he has become so much more independent since he has been at Shephard. It is amazing how fast he improves every day. He is almost at the point of walking on his own and his right arm is starting to come around as well. His speach is continuing to improve everyday as well. Today we started family training and we learned how to take care of him when he comes home. We learned how to put him in the car, get him in and out of the shower, etc. He was so excited to sit in a car again, it has been a while.
We are leaving the Shephard center next Tuesday. Shawn is so ready to be at his house, it will have been almost six weeks since he has seen his house. He will have off of therapy/rehab from the Tuesday we return home until the following Monday where he will start the "day program" therapy part of Shephard Center in Decatur. It will be the same type of therapy he has gotten here at Shephard everyday from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00p.m Monday through Friday with the weekends off. The only difference is he gets to come home every night to his house and family!!!! We all miss him at home and can't wait for him to be back at home!! He will be just in time to enjoy Thanksgiving at home and Christmas right around the corner!
