| Good visit with Mike. We got outside, he scooted along in a wheel chair by himself. Talked a lot. Counting the days until he can go home. ( tentative release date: Aug 11th). Seems to understand what he's facing, but "going crazy", re-hab is intense, on restricted liquid and/ or puree diet, jaw is sore. Doesn't need an...y flowers, but loves cards and short visits. Parents are there!! Wonderful family...Keep sending the love and prayers. |

| Mike Jacoby called us & spoke to Tony....doing well, making progress in rehab. He said he is still slow, his balance is off, but he is doing better. He hopes to be home in a couple of weeks. Great talking to him !!!!!! |

Mike has good news and bad news. Mike is recovering just as you would expect. Every day we see vast improvement both physically and mentally. He is motivated and aware of the situation. We expect him to be out of RIO the 10th of August.
Here is the bad news: we got the word yesterday that he will be restricted for one ye...ar. No activity that can result in a concussion. He will be back 90 to 100% but another concussion recovery may only be 60%. No bike no snow boaRD etc. etc etc.
Also no alcohol. No biggi there.
He will need everyone's support on all of this!!!!!! |

| Mon Aug 09, 10 11:29 am Mike's homecoming celebration ! |
|
|
| We got the green light for a little celebration with Mike Saturday Aug 14th at his house from 6-7PM. Gives him time to get settled and back into the swing of things (and maybe make some cookies!) More details later but swing by Underwood for the little shindig and welcome him back! |

| Thu Aug 12, 10 6:33 pm update part 1 of 2 |
|
|
| Report: Part 1. I've spent a few days with Mike and his awesome parents at his home! As expected, Mike is super excited and relieved to be home instead of the rehab unit. He's physically getting stronger by the day, and impatient to get back to 100%. He can go along at full-steam for a short time, but tires easily an...d takes frequent naps throughout the day to recover his strength -- especially as he's continuing his rehab therapy which wipes him out. He'll be working hard at it for the next few months, since his balance and fine-tuned motor skills are still off. No exercise more vigorous than walking and swimming, which he enjoys. |

Part 2. His long-term memory is in great shape, but his short-term memory is not so good. He tends to mis-remember dates and times, so keep that it mind when you make plans with him!  Mike won't be able to drive for a few months as well. His Mom Patt suggested that it would be better that friends come to visit him ...at home rather than try to take him out. He tends to do better where he's calm and comfortable...he gets overstimulated and confused easily, especially when there's a lot of people around and he’s tired. She recommended that friends remember to try to keep conversations simple, so as not to overwhelm him because he naturally wants to try keep up with his friends! Only short conversations on the phone. Since people have been kind enough to offer to bring food, please only bring him very soft foods or things that have been diced finely. No nuts or anything stringy because his jaw is still healing. He can't have cookies yet! |
