Blair was moved to the rehab today at 4:00 pm. The address is in yesterday's update.
Today he was happy to be moving to the rehab! He said he is ready to work hard and he really can't wait to be able to TALK instead of write!
He became dizzy yesterday when they were trying to get him to 'walk' (taking any steps with a nurse holding him up on either side) so he is going to have to gain strength and get used to being upright again - as he has been laying down for 22 days! He will also have to work on speech, and eating/drinking (when they are able to take the tracheotomy tube out).
He is really looking forward to eating real food again! He didn't really appreciate anyone eating in front of him today (I can only imagine why he wouldn't like that!). He loved to eat a good meal... so I am sure he'd be happy to accept invites for dinner once he is out of the rehab!
The visiting hours at the rehab are from 8:00 am to 8:00 pm, and unlike the hospital, there is not an age restriction on those visiting. Another-words - children are welcome - as long as they don't try to play on the equipment! (ha ha) I do not know if there is a limit on how many people can visit at a time - but if you want to check you can call and ask (717) 832-2600.
I will update tomorrow - and let everyone know if there is any routine to his exercise - or if we can predict when he will need to rest.
Thanks so much for taking this journey with us all... Blair is one blessed man! He is so loved!

Hard times ... Blair is a trooper ... I’m exhausted and emotionally wiped out. I’m very thankful he is so up-beat and tries to make the best...
