Tight Hamstrings are the Culprit

PT came and assessed why Wayne couldn't sit-up on his own, had trouble walking, and what his grimaces and flinches were due to: extremely tight hamstrings. He can't even extend his legs all the way--not even halfway. He was given stretches to do. At least he doesn't have nerve problems, a herniated disc, or motor control issues due to additional brain damage.

The neurosurgeon came by around 5:00 PM again today and stated that they were going to just keep him over the weekend, have the staff walk him around a few times a day, have PT see him if possible since therapists are scarce on the weekends, and then see how Wayne is doing on Monday.

So, we're in a sort of wait-and-hold pattern...  *sigh*.
