  • A positive update on Tsaichu Cheng just now:

    T.C. was discharged from SCVMC inpatient rehab two days ago, Aug 28!

    He had had another UTI eleven days ago while in inpatient rehab, but the doctors got on it quickly so and it was resolved in a matter of days.

    His hand function has improved enough for him to hold drinks and eat with fat handled utensils. He needs minimal assistance with transfers to/from his wheelchair. He can wheel himself around some in his wheelchair. He still needs help with bladder and bowel, which means attendance every 4-5 hours. He still has not been cleared to use the swimming pool due to his graft not being completely healed. He still has not been cleared to bear weight on has pelvis. Should he fall out of his wheelchair, we currently do not have a way to get him back in it except to call 911 or the local fire department.

    After discharge, he is continuing therapy with an in-home program.
    He has OT, PT, neuropsych, and recreational therapy. Therapists come to the house 2-3 times a week.

    Welcome home, T.C.!

  • Poor guy. Good that he's making progress and managed to get back home but it sounds like he still has a long and difficult struggle ahead.
