Today started out nice and cold again at -10 degrees as we set off on our journey to meet Dr Park. The shuttle service run by The Residence Inn is great, dropped right to the entrance of St.Louis Childrens Hospital and picked up there again when we were finished, fantastic service!
We arrived not really knowing what to expect and we were greeted by a very pleasant man on hand to give us directions.(I think he was a police officer!) The hospital was clean and bright just as a hospital should be! Our first appointment was 9.30am, we had to watch a video about SDR and then Dylan had a physio assessment with Jacky. Jacky was happy with Dylan's assessment, she ran through different things regarding the hospital facilities, what to expect after SDR and the physiotherapy to follow. We then met the man himself "Sir Dr. Park"! Dr. Park's letter from June said "We feel Dylan has the chance to walk with a walker" and PERCS wasn't recommended at that time. Today Dr. Park recommended PERCS for Dylan while we are here and said he reckons Dylan will walk INDEPENDENTLY!! Best news ever! Dylan starts a long road of hard work tomorrow, he is scheduled for surgery for 7.30am (1.30pm at home) so all good vibes, thoughts, prayers and candles welcome.
