Sorry for the big gap in blogs. George and I have been busy attending what is called "Key" training at Shepherd in Atlanta.
Today we did shower training and attended several classroom training sessions. Sam's treac opening has closed enough that he can use the shower.
Sam was photographed for a presentation that Shepherd staff will be doing in the future. The the focus of the photo shoot was to demonstrate how a person without finger movement can retrieve, load and play a cd on a portable player. I never thought that Sam would have the opportunity to be a "hand model".
The Sam is scheduled to leave the hospital and start the Shepherd Day Program on December 21. We'll be staying with Sam in an apartment across Peachtree from the hospital. Each day we'll get dressed and go training sessions that teach the patient how to get along out in the real world. It should be quite an adventure!
