getting out of here soon...sorta

Today Mark got his first taste of physical therapy and was able to walk assisted and do some exercises. His therapist's name is Andrea and she was encouraging and helping him get moving. He'll also be getting to see a speech therapist today as well. Mark also was able to get his "turbin" removed. Dr. Liau did a great job on the incision and it looks pretty clean. The doctor's think he's probably ready to go tomorrow, but not home like we thought! Instead he'll be referred to an acute in-patient rehabilitation facility for 2-3 weeks. There aren't that many facilities that do this type of care so we have a list of about 5 to choose from and some are closer to home...but not much...he already nixed the one that was located in "the hood" ;) So today, we'll be trying to get information and maybe visit to see where the next 5star hotel for Mark might be!
