Jamie's Home!!!

Jamie has finally come home! It has been a little over 1 week and Michael and the children couldn't be happier. She continues her rehab at home and is getting stronger ever day. She is back on Facebook so you can contact her there as well.

Jamie had her  craniectomy repaired yesterday. That means no more helmet, hair can grow in and eventually back to the salon for cut and color, YES!!! The surgery went well and she is resting comfortably in the hospital. She will return to St Johnsland after her post op recovery at Stony Brook, to continue the hard work of rehabilitation. She is progressing well at St Johnsland and getting stronger everyday. Michael continues to be grateful for all the support and visitors.

Jamie has been transferred to St Johnland in Kings Park. Everyone is grateful to hear of her continued recovery and glad to have her closer to home.

My apologies to all of you who are reading the blog for being MIA the last couple of weeks, but having to take re-certification boards will do that to a person!

Jamie is making terrific progress and has started walking with assistance. Michael expects that she will be transferred to a rehab center on Long Island possibly as early as next week. We all wish Jamie a Happy Mother's Day tomorrow and we are all looking forward to her being closer to home.

Jamie is now back at Rusk to resume her month of acute rehab. She continues to improve and the plan is to transfer to a sub-acute facility on Long Island in mid May.

Jamie was transferred to the acute hospital at NYU Friday night. She is having fevers and the doctors are trying to figure out a source. She remains on antibiotics. Hopefully she will defervesce soon able be able to resume her rehab.

Great News, Jamie's stay at Rusk has been extended through May 5th. This is great because it means another full month of intensive rehab.She continues to improve and strengthen herself and that is why another full month will be so beneficial for her. She is getting stronger and moving toward her goals. She continues to show signs of that Jamie spark. Yesterday a young resident came in and commented on her lunch tray, "The food looks good here." She looked straight at him and very seriously said, "Do you want to change places with me and get in this bed". Too funny and also so typical of Jamie's healthy sense of humor.
