Daughter update:
I’ve had a couple of you ask so here’s the latest on my daughter’s recovery:
Last Friday was a big day, she was discharged from the rehab facility and allowed to go “home”. Home right now is back to her sorority house, which is a good thing as it has a handicap accessible room with the appropriate bathroom. Our house is not conducive to wheelchair use so we are very grateful her school was willing to work with us. It’s also great for her mental health to be around her “sisters” who have been so supportive and caring these last few weeks.
She’s going to be wheelchair bound for at least the next 2 months which means my wife and I have temporarily relocated to be able to take care of her. My wife is able to work remotely and I’ve taken a leave of absence from work. I’m with her everyday preparing her meals, running her errands, and helping her get to doctors appointments. I think I’m unofficially house dad for her sorority.
After the two months in the wheelchair, she will start rehab/PT again to begin walking, not sure how long that process will take.
Overall she’s in good spirits, pain has mostly subsided, and she’s resumed her studies at school with some modifications. All in all, we really couldn’t be in a better place given circumstances. There’s a long way to go to get back to “normal” but we are on the right path.
