Today, only 12 days after Marie's stroke, we have so much to reflect on and be so proud of Marie for. We have watched her achieve so many significant milestones and accomplishments in her recovery so far. And now, we have yet one more item to add, because of all of her hard work, Marie has been already admitted into a rehabilitation center in Toronto. And, she is going TOMORROW! Normally, there is at least a 1-3 week waiting period (or more) for a placement. When her application was submitted only this morning, they scooped her up!!
This is another awesome step for Marie, because it means that her care will be even more focused and intensive as she will have even more resources geared to her needs!
As every stroke is different, therefore there is no time frame on how long Marie will stay, but our best guess is that Marie will be there for 8 weeks. After that, her rehabilitation will probably be done on a local out patient program in the Barrie area.
Congratulations Marie!!!

Wow... no kidding Caroline and I are looking at a BRILLIANTLY-COLOURED HUGE RAINBOW shining out the window of the hospital RIGHT NOW (And a faint second rainbow too!)...Can any of you out there see it right now?

Oh yes... (Ok, I'm excited right now and couldn't get this into one post)... Marie's reaction was reminding us about Rihanna's "Rehab" song :)
ReplyDeleteYour prayers are working. Thank you sooooooooooooooooooooooo much!
Marie, I am proud of you. Your determination and strong will have taken you a long way! Here's hoping I get a hole in one for you tomorrow (but I would be happy with a birdie!)

The rehab center is Providence Health Care Centre in Scarborough.
ReplyDeleteAs Marie needs lots of rest and time to work through her rehab activities, we would ask that anyone considering visiting Marie contact an immediate family member first. We can let you know the best times etc.
Take care,
Laura
