It was like pulling chicken's teeth, but we were able to get a projected release date for Taylor from the rehab facility. While we know that no one can give us an exact date, we did want to know some kind of time estimate. Based on how he's doing now, he's expected to be released in "4 to 6 weeks".
Once he's out, he'll still continue in rehab but as out-patient. He'll live at home and we'll take him to a facility closer to where we live.
I told Taylor that since he's been there 5 weeks, he's about 1/2 way through. He said "Yea, I'm on the back 9". It took me a couple of seconds, but I finally got the golfing reference. His quick wit and dead pan delivery cracks me up.
This evening we walked with Taylor around the medical unit and outside. His progress since just last week has been pretty remarkable. He's past the "mall crawl" pace and now walks at normal speed. He is still a little wobbly when he prepares to sit or stands up, but he's also doing everything with 26 less pounds than when he was last walking without aid, before the accident.
