Blair is able to talk! He is working with the speech therapist on swallowing (jello and things).  His physical therapy is going well even though they are still waiting for the brace for his left leg! (Go figure - it hasn't arrived yet even though it was expected Tuesday).  His recreational therapist is coming up with things he can still enjoy doing despite his limited mobility at the time being.

Blair has MANY friends. That support and encouragement is a wonderful thing. Unfortunately there is only so much time in a day. They are providing four or more hours of therapy to him each day which is very tiring to him.  He is also very social and won't turn any visitors away!  The rehab is not set up to have more than 10 people in the waiting room, nor are they employing nurses to spend their time determining who can visit & for how long.

Therefore the rehab has asked for & is being provided a list of names of people allowed in to visit. If you'd like to visit - it needs to be scheduled / planned and I need your full name so that your trip is not wasting your time or theirs. You can contact me at 717-756-0413. Please text or call. It's difficult with friends contacting different members of the family (as we are a pretty big family) and we may not be aware of who told whom to go ahead and come in, which leads to many people at one time.  So, please contact me so I can forward your information to everyone else (and the rehab) so we don't run into problems again. Blair does need more rest with all the work he is doing - so please understand that it's not personal - as his family we are asking that visits be limited to the two people the rehab allow to visit at a time. There are many other people who would like to enjoy their visitors as well and nursing staff that need to be taking care of patients instead of directing traffic of visitors.

Thank you so much for your understanding!
