Next stop...

Keith has been doing so great, they're booting him out of the rehab he's in now, because there's nothing more they can do for him. He has a doctor's appointment on the 28th with the doctor who put weight bearing restrictions on his pelvis, and the doctor will tell him if his pelvis is healed enough that he can bear any weight at all. If he can bear weight, he can either go back to the Utah valley specialty hospital, or go to the Provo in-patient therapy there, but if he can't bear right, they'll try to keep him in the Murray hospital again (although none of us like that option), or move him to Stonehenge in American Fork. He has been doing so great with all the therapy they give him. He can now stay sitting up at the edge of his bed without support, and he can even carry himself over to the commode! They also made him push himself around the whole perimeter of the hospital in a wheelchair yesterday, which he didn't exactly enjoy, but he said he loves that they push him to do things they know he can do. They are saying he still won't walk for another 3 months or so, but considering they were saying 6 months a little while ago, that's great news! Dad has also been able to take his own showers! Yesterday was his second shower and his therapist left him there for 20 minutes because he knew my dad didn't want to get out any time soon, so he showed him where the call button was, and finished up with some other patients. Dad loved it! He has actually been pretty spoiled (; and he is the talk of the hospital! Everyone is absolutely shocked at the progress he has been making. Every nurse and therapist in that hospital knows my dad, and thinks he is a miracle man! Which he is (; They were all so bummed when they heard he was going to leave soon. We will miss the exceptional care and service at Utah Valley Specialty Hospital, they have been so good to all of us. But we are ecstatic he is moving on because he's doing so well! It is such a huge blessing.But I would recommend getting your visits in within the next couple days because we don't know where he'll be after that! So feel free to come visit anytime today or tomorrow, between 9am and 9pm (: he would love to see you! Thanks AGAIN for all of your prayers, love, and support for my dad and my family. We are blessed beyond comprehension! We love all of you, and hope to see you soon!
