The mothers, Suzanne and Peggy, spent Monday with Jason. In the early hours of the day a doctor from the rehabilitation unit stopped by to assess whether Jason was ready to be discharged to rehab. Hallelujah he passed! Around 3pm Jason was moved from his chaotic space on floor 5 to a quiet, private room downstairs. Now begins the tough work of therapy.
Suzanne spent the night with Jason in his room last night. It was either that or a bed for him where the top part was described by the mothers as a "tent" and a "cage." The last thing we need is for Jason to think he's out camping somewhere in the wilds. We're trying to help him find reality.
Sadly, as Jason's head heals some frightening things are becoming apparent to him. As of last night he was vehemently denying that he had even raced on Sunday. He was convinced that he merely acted as an official and that someone had put him in the hospital on purpose. The upcoming days could be very hard for Jason as he heals and the reality of his situation sinks in. But I feel very confident that eventually Jason's hard-working, nothings-gonna-stop-me attitude will kick in! Keep sending those comments. They've been hugely motivational!
