This afternoon Orion was moved by ambulance to a rehab facility in San Antonio. Apparently, Warm Springs is supposed to be one of the finer ones in the area, if not in the nation, for brain injury rehabilitation. While we were waiting for the ambulance crew to arrive, Orion ate a couple of slices of his favorite, pepperoni pizza. We had a decent two way conversation. I understood almost everything the cute little red head had to say about extinct sharks, dinosaurs, his school and teachers from Dawson Elementary,... His words are very slow and deliberate but discernible.
Once the ambulance crew came to transport him, he got a bit nervous and Matthew had to spend some time with him to calm him. Although he had told me and the nurse that he knew where and why he was being moved, I think when the time came, it was scary for the little 9 year old.
He is supposed to be at Warm Springs for 2-3 weeks to re-learn how to properly talk and walk.
Please continue to keep him and his folks in your prayers. Thanks!
We hope to see you at Hills Cafe this Sunday evening.
Love to all, Orion's Nana Colleen
