Wednesday afternoon

I had forgotten about the fact that brain injuries often take 4 steps forward/2 steps back before this morning. During physical therapy, Matt had a short seizure while he was on a standing table machine. He was trying to say that something was happening and then his left side collapsed. He quickly came to and they checked his vitals and said they were all the same as this morning, so they put him back in bed to let him rest. He's been sleeping most of the day and is taking a break from any more therapy until tomorrow. No one can say what exactly this means for seizures in the future - they are going to increase his medications for right now and see how that works. He was just awake for a little while and 'talking' to us again, but he isn't interested in getting out of bed.

If anyone is interested, Matt can have visitors at any time - he's free in the evenings, on weekends, and anytime during the day if he isn't in therapy. For anyone coming from the veggie conference, I think the best way to get here from Manchester is to take 101 west to Wilton, then Route 31 through Greenfield. A little ways past Greenfield, turn right onto Crotched Mountain Road. (If you're coming from up north, take 89 towards Concord and then 202 West. In Bennington, follow 31 south to Crotched Mountain Road on the left. ) Once you get up the hill, follow signs for the Children's Hospital and Residence. There is some parking right by the front door, or go around to the back side of the building and there is a large lot. Matt's room is 1G - give me a call if you get lost! 802-881-4744
