Mike Vincent Benefit: Update

Posted by: Alex | Monday, March 24, 2008 | 1 comment

Hello-

On Tuesday, March 18, exactly 2 months after Mike's accident, he was moved from Cedars Sinai to Rancho Los Amigos, a rehabilitation facility in Downey, CA. We were all nervous that he wasn't ready to be moved, but after seeing Rancho and the care the staff are able to provide, we are confident that the right decision was made.

This morning Mike had an EKG and CT scan. There was no swelling or fluid, which is great. However, we also told that Mike's eyesight may be damaged, due to the previous brain swelling. Right now, he is unresponsive to visual stimulation. He has an opthalmology appointment tomorrow morning, and hopefully we will find out more information.

Mike is allowed visitors at Rancho. Visiting hours are 10AM - 8PM, but part of his day is spent in therapy, so you may want to call ahead before visiting. He also seems to respond well to talking on the phone. His room number is 562-401-8193.
If you would like to send mail, this is the mailing address.
