Well tomorrow will be 3 weeks in rehab for James.   It has been a rough 3 weeks,  but I think he is starting to settle in.  They changed his meds just after we arrived and he became very anxious and we were given an ultimatum that if he didn't cooperate and participate in therapy by the end of this week they may have to send him back to Comox.  A new doctor saw him on the weekend and was able to get his medication back on track and he has had a much better start to the week.  He has become completely continent this week.  Not only during the day but at night too.  He got a new communication device today.  It has words in it and has predictive software so it is much faster than typing everything out or sign language finger spelling!  He loves gadjets and this is a pretty cool gadjet!  When we were getting him set up with the new gadjet today his favourite LPN came in to unhook his feed and give him his meds.  The OT prompted him to say something to the nurse.  James went into the social page and chose " I appreciate your assistance " and then he typed in "Bud".  It was so funny!    He is walking with the paralell bars in physio.  Yesterday he didnt want anyone actually touching him.  He walked the second half of the session with just verbal cues!
