Just to clarify where we are. I have suggested to Chris's Mom and Shea that what he should be seeing at this time is an Infectious Disease Specialist. His illness has progressed beyond the ability of his Orthopeadic Surgeon to handle. He needs someone for whom life threatening infecton is no stranger. This is part of the reason for the contemplated move to Salt Lake City. His transfer to a rehab facility is eminent but that doesn't mean today or even tomorrow. It is perfectly reasonable that Chris will be in a skilled setting for a number of weeks, possibly months before he has recovered enough to return home for outpatient therapy.
Chris has lost 25% of his vision. But his hearing seems to be more dramatically affected. After 25 years in peds I am well aware that this is not unusual after meningits. He's actually very lucky to have no brain damage. As many of you know bacterial meningitis patients suffer incredible intracranial pressures. In fact the prognosis is very poor despite early admission to the intensive care unit. For some the seizures are incredible.
I post Shea's reports to me as he sends them, in his words, because I think it would be disrespectful to do other wise. Anyone who has questions please feel free to PM me.
Thanks
