12/20/2023 0 Comments Clearview vision center wi![]() ![]() I’m thinking from the brain injury it, he doesn’t really know all the time of what he’s supposed to be doing so it can be like, you know, left step, right step, left step, right step so he can get his brain back into the normal motion of what it, what it used to be and today he walked in the grass for the first time ’cause he had never been off the pavement and he did fairly well. Yes he does walk with therapy but he needs help, somebody to kind of guide him and, and you know, make him stay on task. Is he doing any type of walking in therapy at Clearview Brain Injury Rehabilitation Center? He’s probably got maybe like 15 percent use. ![]() I would say the left side leg is probably 50 percent, not up to par and his left arm he can move a little bit. The left side, how would you describe it? His right side, more from a motor standpoint of the muscle moving side is reasonably normal? ![]() He still has an impairment on the left side but he does the best as he can do. I want him to be the best he can be to come home and he has started dressing himself a little bit. They want him to be the best he can be before he goes home and I said that’s fine, whatever length it takes. ![]() He had a review this week and they told us that he would be here three to seven more months. What’s the plan? Where, where do they see him in six months from now or two months from now? When do they see him being able to come home? He remembers long term really good, different places we’d been and he can tell stories about, things that we’ve done and things that go along with what we have done or what we had seen. For the most part it’s all good stuff, normal stuff and he remembers a lot from long term. I don’t hear no garbage, no off the wall stuff, you know. He tells you when he’s gotta go to the bathroom which he needs help, you know, to go use the urinal or go to the bathroom. He’s learning how to read from one line to the other. He can read a calendar now where before he couldn’t read a calendar because he had that left neglect. He can walk with the help of another person hanging onto him. He can print a little bit with his right hand. He’s mercifully done more than I would have ever thought that he would be able to do. As far as I can see the six months that he’s been here he’s doing really, really good. This treatment here is therapists working with people with traumatic brain injuries.
