RIC

After 4 weeks at Lurie Children's Hospital, we moved to RIC (Rehab Institute of Chicago) yesterday.  RIC is the top rehab hospital in the country, and everyone has high hopes of how rehab will help Jonah improve from the unintended effects of all of the brain trauma.  It is however a different place than Lurie's and we have a shared room in an old rehab hospital which is proving to have it's own challenges.  Quite time doesn't start until 10pm, and although our roommate isn't a rule breaker, they're also not early to bed folks which is making it hard for Jonah to sleep.  Also, apparently some of the seamless nursing we experienced at Lurie's was due to communication more than the written orders, so we've had a few bumps as we learn life in rehab land.

Our manta is "this is the best place for Jonah to be", and Simon and I can do without the creature comforts that Lurie has to offer if this will help Jonah regain some independence.  Our prayers are with the therapist, and we expect that we will all grow as we learn to be outside our comfort zone.
