The skin grafts to repair small wounds on the edges of John’s flap surgery sites  and drainage sites were not successful. So, the wound healing did not get the boost that we had hoped. John is still on a laying flat protocol until these wounds very slowly get better. Because there is little progress presently taking place at VIBRA, insurance is not going to approve payment for John remaining here much longer.  His case working is trying to get approval for a Dolphin Bed at home. It looks like he will be transported home in a couple of weeks. We will work with the Newport in home health care nurses to continue the wound healing and then start our own sit up trials. Once John is able to sit for several hours at a time, we will try to get into a rehabilitation program.
