Day 107 - Friday March 30, 2012

I started the day off by calling to talk to Brian Miller in Kalispell.  He is the physical therapist that Arrianne used last year and he is awesome!  Unfortunately he is on vacation right now, but I left him a long detailed message asking about therapists in Kalispell.  He is very knowledgeable and he will be able to help us find a good speech therapist and occupational therapist, experienced in TBI--if there are any in the Flathead Valley.  Perhaps we will have to stay here longer in order to get Bridgett the therapy she needs.  These few months after the accident are the most critical ones for healing, particularly the first three to six months.  I would hate to come home just because we are anxious to get home and have Bridgett suffer therapy wise.  I know there are good therapists in Kalispell, but we need therapists really experienced in TBI and apparently that is hard to find--even here in Utah.   Of course, I don't anticipate being able to find a low vision therapist and optometrist.  Apparently there are only two in the whole state of Utah, so it's unlikely that there is one in Kalispell. Today was kind of a quiet day.  Bridgett was really tired out and napped quite a bit.  I got info about the Brain Injury Support Group here in Provo.  Their meeting is the first Thursday of every month, so I will plan to go next Thursday.
