This blog was originally dedicated to update my friends and family on the details of my recovery from a traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI). I later began writing myself and now use this blog to document my journey through life with a spinal cord injury.

Off to Rehabilitation

All,

Carson has been moved to the inpatient rehabilitation unit at the University of Utah Medical Center on the second floor.  Our goal was to keep him at the U due to continuity of care and are grateful this was successful.  This is the point where things are going to get pretty rough.  Up until now he has been medically taken care of, but now he will be required to take on more of his own care.  At this point, Carson is in a kind of in between zone where he doesn't have the strength to do many of these tasks, but has the great desire to do so.  Rehabilitation will push him beyond what he feels he is capable right now.  Discouragement and frustration are going to be part of this process.

We will know more about his schedule soon and let you know.  A million thanks to all of you who continue to send blessings Carson's way.  He will need them all.
