Good News

Bo met with the brain specialist yesterday and we have good news. After some more neuro and "remote memory" testing, the doctor determined that Bo does not have permanent damage to his brain. Praise God! He is still having some symptoms, but they should resolve within twelve months. The doctor did notice some decreased right side motor function that is normal with a left lobe injury and is recommending some rehab. I'm supposed to mail him word finds and crossword puzzles! She also wants him to have some speech therapy to helping with slurring of words. He's always talked fast so I'm not sure this is a new problem! She cleared him to ship out for AIT (job training). He leaves Thursday for Fort Lee, Virginia. He had to change his MOS (job) to something less dangerous than field artillery, so he will now be a supply specialist. It should be a low stress job, with good hours and weekends and holidays off. He'll be able to count and arrange stuff to his heart's content.
