Another busy day. Not that I expected it to be different.
Rob saw the orthopedic doctor this morning. The x-ray of his hand shows new bone growth, so it is already healing. There were two fractures at the base of his ring finger and pinky, like the two fingers split apart. The only thing he recommended was extra physical therapy to regain strength in that hand, so that was faxed over to Day Kimball to add to Rob's therapy list. The doctor will see Rob again at the end of September just to make sure everything's going well.
The neurosurgeon at UMASS was pretty much doing a follow-up on the incision where the ICP probe was inserted into Rob's skull. We discussed some of the symptoms Rob's having and he said we're doing all the right things as far as seeking treatment with the right specialists. Rob's cerebellum is doing it's job as far as Rob's balance and coordination. This means that his equilibrium is off definitely because of his vision. That's great news! The neurosurgeon said as far as his involvement in Rob's injury goes, Rob is healed. :P I guess we can check one thing off the list. ;)
