It's Monday! Can't believe this is day three at Palomar Hospital Rehab. Ryan is gaining his balance, memory, and is much less confused AND more present. His head is still causing him a lot of pain. The doctor here is working on getting the right combination of pain medicine so that his pain is tolerable. The doctor and staff here are amazed at Ryan's high functional level considering what he's been through and that it's been such a relatively short time. We know it's all your love and prayers... AND God's healing touch that have made the difference.

It's time for visitors! He has a total of three hours of therapies between approximately 9am and 3pm each day. This happens even if he has guests. Guests are invited to follow the therapy session if they choose and Ryan is agreeable. Otherwise, mid to late afternoon and evenings are best. If you are concerned about the timing of your visit please feel free to call Debi at (858) 335-3457.

Ryan is looking forward to seeing you soon, either at the hospital or at home in PQ in about a week. (hopefully before Christmas)

Much love,
Eric, Debi, Lauren, Cameron ... and Ryan!
