On the road

This morning, Margarita was discharged from the St. Johns skilled nursing facility. We begin a 4-day trip to New Jersey.
While this phase of her recovery is complete, she will require additional physical therapy to gain full control of her limbs.

A special thanks is necessary to the entire staff. Their dedication was instrumental to her recovery. Their patience and understanding was truely inspiring. We often forget what an overwhelming experience an accident can be to the patient and family; this goes beyond the medical issues such as dealing with the loss of loved ones, addressing bureaucratic issues, and establishing normalcy.
