Lincoln Hocevar
Lincoln got moved out of the PICU yesterday afternoon! He's doing pretty well, all things considered. He is making a lot of progress with his right leg, getting stronger every day. PT talked about getting him to the rehab gym tomorrow to work on walking. This is all very encouraging.
We are having ups and downs with the headaches. Some days they seem better, but last night and today, the pain seems a little worse. Hopefully this will continue to improve. He still has the EVD, that drains the CSF from his brain, the goal is to start to raise it and decrease the amount its draining and then the CSF should start draining naturally.
Emotionally, Lincoln is having a hard time. Lots of depression, being very negative and hard on himself. We've reached out to psychology within the hospital and are hopeful to see them soon. He's hanging in there though; it's so much for a 9 year old to go through. We are grateful for all his progress so far.
