Tim saw Dr. Monty Morris, Don Morris' son, this week. Tim was complaining of hearing loss in his right ear. After his examination, Monty found that he still has swelling inside his ear. So, we're hopeful that his hearing will return once the swelling is gone.
Tim also saw Dr. Bixler from Harris Methodist hospital in Fort Worth today. This doctor is in charge of rehabilitation. He is very pleased with Tim's current status. He made the comment that, in the beginning, he wasn't expecting Tim to be able to walk or talk. He said that Tim is definitely a miracle patient. He actually released Tim to work, starting next week. Tim is still not allowed to drive. And he will only be able to work part time at first.
The DARS group (Texas Department of Assistive and Rehabilitative Services) has requested funding for Tim's evaluation for rehabilitation today. We are hoping to get this ball rolling and have Tim working toward 100% recovery.
Donna said that Tim is doing very well. He never uses the walker. They bring it when they leave the house, just in case. Tim's eating is going well too. We knew that this would be a long road to recovery. But, Tim also shows us that the road may not be as long as expected. It was like this in the hospital too. Tim's progress changes a great deal in just a weeks time.
