Alex was finally released from in-patient status a week ago. His family made some modifications on their house, to make his home safe for him. It was quite the treat for us, when Alex was discharged, becuase he came immediately to the store to surprise us! Alex is currently waiting for admission to the Center for Neuro Skills for outpatient rehab. "His scapula was fractured and his shoulder and neck area are very tender and painful due to his nerve injury sustained in his neck area. He needs nerve pain medication for this area especially. Since his head was the most important thing to work on until he became stable this area of his body was put to the side and wasn't really ever addressed ," his father in law, Ryan, wrote. Alex received an updated x-ray that showed his scapula healing very well and was released by the orthopedic doctors from KMC. He is walking with a cane very well, even with his left side weakness, under the constant supervision of his family and friends. It is still very important for him to be supervised to be sure he doesn't injure himself more. His speech now comes easily and fluidly, his memory has improved immensely over the past two weeks, although his memories still seem fairly dreamlike sometimes and foggy.

Now that his body is healed to this level, special attention is also going to be given to recharging his cognitive thinking skills.

Alex has come far from where he was last month, but the road to coming back to SAS is a long one. Juliet still has not been able to return to work at the homeless shelter full time, but has been allowed to do some work from home, due to the ongoing needs of Alex's daily living tasks, doctors appointments, and therapy needs.
Many of you continue to call in and ask how he is doing. Thank you for your concern!
