Karen's Parents Update #2: April 21st at 10:30pm
Karen has arrived at the Mount Vernon Hospital’s INOVA Rehabilitation Center.The regimen will be a very intensive therapy. At Fairfax Hospital she had 30-45 minutes of therapy per day and at Mount Vernon Rehabilitation Center she will have three to four hours of therapy throughout the day. She will be supervised by a team led by a physician who is board certified in physical medicine and rehabilitation and will receive occupational, speech, physical and other forms of therapy on weekdays. Due to the schedule and her need to become acclimated to her new surroundings her Doctor suggested that visitation be kept to a minimum for the first week and then after 4 PM on weekdays. They schedule the one hour sessions through out the day to give the patients time to rest in between.
We are encouraged as this is the premier rehabilitation facility in Northern Virginia. The entire staff at INOVA Fairfax Hospital worked very hard to make sure Karen qualified for admission. We owe them our gratitude for their help and expect great things from Karen.

I'm glad her transfer went smoothly. It sounds like she has been receiving the best care possible and we know she'll give her best effort in her rehabilitation. Go Karen! :)
