First official day of rehab

 As promised I took a photo of some of the decorations that Bill and Lisa sent us.  It made our St.Patrick's day a bit more cheery!  Thanks again Bill and Lisa!

This morning Josh said we had to visit good old Ronald who is out front of the Ronald McDonald House and get a photo with him.  At least I got them all to smile, although I had to work a little harder for Ronald. 

Jacob had his first official day of rehab today, and it went pretty good.  They split it into 1 1/2 hours in the morning, let him get lunch and a nap and then 1 1/2 hours in the afternoon.  He lasted pretty well with that (they were originally afraid he wouldn't).   He also got a new way to be able to get a ride around the hospital.  They fitted him in a special size chair with wheels and he seemed to like it fairly well.  Now he does not have to lay in bed propped up to eat his food. 
The only hiccup all day was with the insurance, but I am sure it will get all resolved next week.  So far they have only approved him for one week of therapy.  As much as we would like to be home soon, we know that one week is not going to cut it.  Jacob is much too far away from being where he needs to be to go home.  So far they are saying they can most likely get the insurance to get it to at least 3 weeks and then we can go from there. So, I guess we will see what happens. 
And to end the day, he got his first bath, it was not as enjoyable as his usual baths, but I think he appreciated getting clean for the first time in over a week.  When we got back from our bath, we got to move our bed over to the side of the room with the window, because our roommate moved out.  We were pretty excited at the thought of a window view and that it looked like it might be a quite night, but then at 10:45 pm they moved in a teenage boy.  Oh well, it still might be a quite rest of the night, I suppose.
