Finally got the VA worked out.

Things are starting to look promising. He was registered in the wrong county as well as dealing with a two year backlog.

Might be out by the beginning of next week

Looks as if he has improved enough to get out sooner than expected!

Still a bit of memory loss

We may be looking at about a week to get him out of here unless we can get his VA stuff handled sooner.  Having no VA history makes things difficult.  He has a ways to go before we get him back to normal. Having little use of his hands and not remembering what happened really fustrates him.  Head trama patients are usually restraned at night. I have prevented that and they installed a bed alarm instead.  That is mainly to make sure  he won't pass out from head rushes from standing up too fast. I refuse to let them take his freedom away! I'm spending the night with him to make sure he feels safe when he wakes up.  If he had a primary doctor, I could have gotten him out of here within days.

He can now remember within two hours before the crash

I don't think we need any more photos. Remembering people was not an issue. Where and when was but that is starting to come back.

Next stop therapy

I'm off doing his laundry. Talking to insurance folks ect while they transfer him.  Hope fully he can recover fast but as of right now we are looking at ten days at the therapy wing of which may not get covered.  I will be getting VA info in couple hours.
