Mike was moved from the OHSU floor to Providence stroke rehab today. We were greeted by a very gracious nursing staff and Dr. Hoeflich. Mike tolerated the move but was wiped out by all the activity and wanted to sleep through the assessments.
OHSU removed Mike's sutures this morning. His ventricular drain looks good; there probably won't be much to admire there. But the occipital cranial decompression scar is really a thing of beauty. It starts low on his neck and stretches up nearly to the top of his head. It looks like Mike had some very dark days bar brawling.
Yet another shout out to all the people that facilitated the move. Tim has been particularly helpful the last few days guiding me through the next steps in this process. Thank you Tim!
Mike won't be ready for visitors for awhile. He will be at Providence for two to four weeks.

All love, and best wishes. Just think of the progress you have made, from where you started.
I'm sure the move to Providence will help him with orientation, in many ways.
Hugs all round.

Dear Caitlin,
What good news. Being in a place you all know and looks familiar should be a great relief. It sounds like all those family times have paid off and your support team is incredible. You deserve it.
Lots of love and prayers being sent your way. I know it has be raining in Oregon but your part of the world is getting sunnier.
Love,
Judie
Hey Caitlin,
We would love to hear how the kids are doing... how was their visit with Mike? How are you holding up? Are you getting any rest? Hugs to you all, Kat
