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*.
