The four of us who have been working both in front of and behind the scenes (Lynn<\/strong> [aka “Squatch”<\/em><\/strong>], JLA<\/strong>, Joanne D<\/strong>, and myself, SoINeedAName<\/strong>) are now glad to provide some good news out of Oregon, rather than the disheartening news of yet another mass shooting massacre.<\/p>\n

I’ll begin with our routine Disclaimer: We share your desire for as much information on TC<\/strong> as possible.  But we will continue to respect his privacy, and recognize the hospital has an ethical and legal obligation as directed by HIPAA guidelines to also protect his privacy.  <\/em><\/p>\n

I had the good fortune to speak with the Nurse Case Manager<\/strong> overseeing his care at the hospital TC is currently staying.  Last time I spoke with the nurse taking care of TC it was their feeling then that he most likely would be able to be transferred to a less intense facility in about two weeks.<\/p>\n

But TC has made such progress that they now hope to transfer him in the next 2-5 days!<\/p>\n

The next step-up facility is specifically designed to provide multiple therapy modalities that he will require on a longer term basis, but still relatively close to home.<\/p>\n

This is most assuredly the direction we were all hoping for – so some good news to brighten an otherwise depressing news day.<\/p>\n

We still need to gird ourselves for the bumps in the road that are typical in complicated medical cases.  And keep those cards and letters coming, addressed as follows …<\/p>\n
