We are finally home. It took us 3 days and 2 nights. The pass we had to travel was better than expected but we took our time so Jess would not be in the wheelchair for too long each day. It is good to be home but a little overwhelming. I had everything organized in California and now I have to reorganize here. I have a meeting with Medicaid to see what therapies they will cover next week and we want to get Jess back in school and horseback riding. The last 62 days were interesting...Jess was actually only in therapy 41 days and the other 21 days we spent hanging out together. All and all it was a good decision to go to the Centre for Neuro Skills...not only for Jess but for our peace of mind.
The last few days there were full of events. The eye specialist had requested that we fly one of our occupational therapists out to train with her in regards to the exercises needed to correct Jess' vision. We are so grateful to Blake Walsh from the school district for offering to fly our OT, Susan Cooper, to Bakersfield to train with the eye doctor and follow Jess to each of his therapists at CNS. She had a chance to see what he has been doing for the last 2 months. She is an angel for coming and we can't thank both of them enough for being there for us again. We are still blessed in so many ways.
CNS gave Jess a little going away party the last day. Everyone had cake and sang him a song. We met so many wonderful professionals along with other families traveling our same path. Brain injury is a cruel event that happens to so many people and their families. The hardest part is trusting that there will eventually be a good outcome.
Well, I have a pile of paperwork, a lot of stuff to put away and Chris has a lot of snow to plow. We are all exhausted and glad to be home. We are still not quite sure where we are going or what we have accomplished while we were gone. But, we must remain in the mindset that it is all good.
