What a week it has been! It has warmed our hearts so much to have Cal back home to begin the next part of her healing journey. She has been settling in really well![...]

We are so excited to announce that Callahan has just finished her last therapy session at Gaylord Hospital! 🎉🎉🎉Another awesome milestone conquered 💪🏼Her mom and I went this morning to do PT training for when she arrives home. Today will be the last day we walk out of the hospital without Callahan. 

Tomorrow we will pick her up at 11:00am. Our hearts are filled with so much joy 🙌🏼😍We are so thankful for answered prayers and are looking forward to the next chapter in Cal's journey. She will begin outpatient PT/OT therapy twice a week and start attending several follow up appointments. [...]

Saturday through Tuesday was tough for Cal. Her headaches are bad and she is having a tough time sleeping with anxiousness about being away from home. With each day she has been improving! Today I watched her get right out of her bed and grab a lemon squeezer. I smiled and said "omg! you're doing great!"[...]

Well, it has been a little over a week since Cal has moved to Gaylord rehab and it was a week to celebrate how far she has come! 

The team met about Callahan's case and gave her a tentative discharge date of October 28th. Cal has been cleared to have regular food and she is so excited about that! 🙌🏼She immediately knew what she wanted and asked for pickles. She was also able to have a Salty Dog, which is her absolute favorite drink. We all know how much Cal LOVES lemons!! 😍[...]

Cal is doing well! She is struggling with being at Gaylord and just wants to be at home in her own bed. It's hard to be alone in a strange place and not knowing how long you will be there. All three of us continue to share in her journey and go visit her daily. We keep telling her she is in the best place for her to make a full recovery! 

Today all of the different therapy disciplines meet and discuss Callahan's case and make the plan for the week. They will continue to do this every Tuesday. Callahan is eager to see what they come back with and how long she will be at Gaylord.[...]

Callahan is getting settled in to Gaylord. It's really hard for her to transition and doesn't feel like herself. 😔

They have started to get he to walk some which has been difficult so far. She is also still having difficulties when she tries to talk. They are also having her wear these special glasses to help her right eye movement. Since she has arrived at Gaylord they have been really focussing on doing all of their assessments on her. On Tuesday they will be able to give us a full encompassing game plan on her recovery at Gaylord and a tentative discharge date.[...]

Callahan officially got the feedback tube out yesterday and just left this evening to head to the Gaylord Rehabilitation Center!

Jim and I just kissed Cal as they put her in the ambulance headed to Gaylord! She gave us a thumbs up and and a smile. Although she is scared of what to expect she said "I'm getting out of here in 2 weeks". We told her you keep that fighting spirit! That's what's going to get you through this next part of your journey!

She is so loved and we are so thankful for everyone's support. We couldn't do this without each of you 😘🙏🏼#prayforcal[...]
