We wanted to write a quick note to let everyone know that we are here at Blythedale settling into our new routine. We are absolutely scared and nervous but deep down know that this will be the best place for Chloe. Medically, she is very stable. However, 40 plus days in a hospital bed has caused much tone loss and as you know, the meningitis caused a series of complications that come with an assortment of residual effects. So we continue to climb and stumble till we reach our goals.
We are settling in, though it has not been an easy transition for us. We know that our goal here is rehabilitation, and from what we observed on Friday during our initial visits with the therapists, we were quite pleased.
We promise to keep updating you with our progress and hope that you will continue to follow and support Chloe. For now, we are so overwhelmed and really trying to find our footing here. Right now, it is difficult to write news daily as we still sift through our emotions of change and really try to remain open minded and positive about where we are right now, not just in terms of a place but in life in general. So, please be patient. Weekends here are uneventful as therapy only happens during the weekday.
We will have initial assessments over this coming week and see where Chloe is, and then create a plan for her. As the week slowly progresses, we will fill you in.
Be patient and check back in the next couple days. We are here, just trying to focus on making this new life routine work. Believe me, we have not forgotten any of you and know that you want to keep posted on Chloe and we will once we have settled a bit.
Until then...Many thanks for your continued support.
Lots of love,
Michelle, Rethier, Olivia, and Chloe
