TV (James (Jim) Hedges) was transfered to Emory Rehab Center on Monday. He remains in good spirits and is very thankful for the support he has had. His left arm is the main physical deficit at this time. He cannot move it so that will be the focus of the rehab. His left leg is weak. He has been up with a walker. All of this should continue to improve. Time will tell how much returns.
He starts therapy and will be in different classes through out the day. He will not be allowed visitors during therapy time. He will be very tired while adjusting to the schedule so it will be best to not go to visit during this first week days. He will continue to be checked in by Sani, MC and Head Nurse and we will keep you posted on his progress. Save your visits for the weekend but keep short as he does tire easily still.
Parking is limited and is free after 4:00. You have to sign is at the desk.His room number is 334.
His cell phone is being replaced and I did not see a phone in his room yesterday. You can send cards to his address. MC is getting his mail. The address is 2112 Arlington Ave NE Atlanta 30324. Sani posted her address in a previous post as well.
Once he can get outside in a wheelchair, we'll have a trail go by there to see him.
