Mikey was transported to Winter Haven today for intensive rehabilitation. The first few days are full of various professional's assessments, visits, data gathering, chart review etc.....They have a neuropsycholgist, a M.D., social workers, physical therapist/occupational therapist, speech therapist, respiratory therapist, they all started coming in introducing themselves. My friend Gina's brother is "nurse of the year" on that unit, and another friend Heather has worked on the unit for 8 yrs now. Mikey's room overlooks the lake, on the seventh floor of the Swann building of Winter Haven hospital. Today while waiting for the transport I was handing him Cheetos', which he gobbled up {he always likes Cheeto's}. He's pretty funny--the doctors and nurses ask him questions, and he just looks at them with a serious look, then when they leave the room he chuckles and starts talking. Morgan and Mikey were having a stare down while I was talking to the doctors/nurses/therapists--every time Morgan cracked a smile Mikey would smile too, same sweet dimples. This was the first time Morgan has been able to see him except that little visit in the parking garage. Winter Haven hospital allows children to visit. For those wanting to visit, I am told visitation is from 3pm-8pm daily, only 2 visitors at a time.
