It's official. The left hand and the right hand apparently negotiated an agreement, the process to release him from Lakeland Regional Medical Center has begun and he's been assigned a room at the Florida Institute of Neurologic Rehabilitation (FINR).
After 58 days, Taylor is FINALLY going to begin the real work of getting back to the old Taylor. He still has the Trach, but the Trauma Doctors here say it's ready to come out, so we expect that to happen soon at FINR.
He'll be able to have visitors over the weekend, so if you want to visit him, call his mother on his cell at 581.6821 or me at 295.1375 and we'll give you the details.
9:30pm Taylor made it!
Taylor made the trip well to FINR and he's settled in for the night. His mother is staying tonight, but starting tomorrow night he'll be staying alone at night.
The facility is very nice....and big. It's situated on 900+ acres 10 miles south of Nowhere. This is the acute medical care facility where he'll be staying for a while and then he'll move into one of the smaller cabin style buildings.
For now, Taylor has a private room but on Monday he'll be sharing with an 18 year old boy from Orlando who was in a car crash on January 1st of this year. He was in a coma for 2 months, and is now walking around the building visiting with his family. Another very lucky survivor

This is the view out of Taylor's window. Nice! His fishing rod ended up on the side of the road
somewhere during the accident, so he'll be getting some new equipment to test out in the lake very soon. There are some paved trails, so as quickly as we're allowed to take him outside in a wheel chair, he'll be zipping around the place.Even though he still has the Trach and feeding tube, he'll start physical therapy and occupational therapy at 9:00am on Monday morning. They're not playing here and Taylor knows it. He's ready to get started although I'm sure he'll complain Monday night about how hard it is. And, it WILL be hard on him for a while until he builds his strength.
