The Last Hospital Day

Tuesday 11 December 2001
(NOTES)
Mom and Dave were with Brian as usual. Brian and Mom got to walk outside and work on watching for cars, crossing streets carefully, and orienteering.
Brian and Amy went downstairs together, using directions Brian wrote. He needed fewer cues this time!
Because Brian will be going home first with Marshall and Kellie, Joyce (OT) met with them to discuss what Brian's needs will be, and the safety of their home.
It has been agreed that Brian will spend ten days at a time at each home, at first. 
Mom read Harry Potter, as usual.
Brain can stand alone, can be alone in his room now! (He was never allowed to be alone, for safety reasons)
He leaves tomorrow!

It was hard to let him go to Marshall and Kellie's first, after being with him every day, participating so intensely in his recovery. We adjusted the schedule as time went on.
