new room

Earlier this week Emil was moved from the ICU at LTAC to a regular room (similar to a hospital room). Physically, he is showing improvement and we are hoping that he may be discharged to a rehab/assisted living facility at the end of this month.

Emil moves to LTAC

Yesterday Emil was moved from Hermann hospital's ICU to Triumph LTAC wich is a Long Term Acute Care facility and functions like an ICU that is not part of a larger hospital and handles patients for longer periods of time than the hospital is equipped to handle. More information about his location can be found here. My mother and I have selected a rehabilitation center and assisted living home for Emil to move into after he is ready to leave LTAC.

Surgery

Emil had surgery on his shoulder on Thursday and seems to be doing well. He does have a slight infection and is in isolation but it is not a major conccern at this time. Today he was able to sit in a chair for the first time since the accident. Emil is making progress and we hope he continues on that path without major complications.
