DoD must provide official Tri-Care coverage for Cognitive Rehabilitation Therapy

"Sam’s medical status: I just said hi to Sam over the phone a few minutes ago–and of course, he said hi back to me! He continues his steady improvement in talking and continues his cognitive recovery. Erin said that even though he has days when he’s feeling listless, when Sam gets into therapy, he really works hard to improve his previous days results. Erin asked him yesterday why he tries so hard in therapy even when he’s not feeling well and he told her, “cuz I love you so much”. The picture is Sam “going solo” in his motorized wheel chair in the halls of Kentfield Rehabilitation Hospital. I believe he no longer needs to use the mask as of this week. All the little micro-organisms that he brought back from Iraq should be out of his system.

Sam is still having seizure issues. He had one this morning for 20 minutes and a few days ago he had one for 2 hours! According to Erin the seizures are “atypical”. Normally after a seizure, the patient is very tired and sleepy. After Sam’s seizures, he is actually wide awake and talkative. His doctor is coordinating with an Epilepsy specialist from USF to set up a 72 hour EEG study for Sam."

I have to tell you I think I hate this blog. That is probably why I never post it anymore. But then again sometimes you just can't ignore things, you just have to look...What the hell do you say, get well? Yea sure, he's getting better, sure.
