Jerry continues to impress us all with his determination and good attitude. The last two days he has walked out of the rehab gym, down the hallway to the far end, and then turned around and walked all the way back again! He has graduated to regular foods, including more fresh options, and he has started shaking some visitor’s hands using his right hand without prompting.
Due to the great progress Jerry is making, his care team and family are working towards his next transition in care from his current skilled nursing rehab facility (Park Manor) to a more intensive inpatient rehab program just a few miles down the road at St. Mary’s Hospital in Walla Walla. Although he is making great progress, he still has much more work ahead and we are excited about the additional help he can get at St. Mary’s. The move may take place as early as Friday, July 26.
Once Jerry relocates to St. Mary’s the number of visitors per day will be limited. In the evening, we will be able to bring him outside for visits beyond the daily limit, so please call or text ahead if you want to visit.
