Mike has set a new goal to go home by March 31. He continues to work hard with his therapists. Yesterday he took a walk outside around the block with Suzanne, Mom and his PT. He was a little overwhelmed by all the new stimulation, but did quite well with the physical part. When the meningitis penetrated the mastoid (on the left side) the speech and communication center of the brain was affected. The meninges is still inflamed, which has caused comprehension, memory and speech problems. The neurological recovery will be slow but Suzanne and his doctors are very optimistic, looking for much improvement in about three months. Mike still needs 24 hour care at this point.
Keep the miracles coming through all your love and prayers.
