UPDATE!! 8/7/24 Daniel-Lorrie Peters
Daniel is in acute inpatient rehab at Carilion Roanoke Community Hospital room 718. Excellent facility and beyond impressed with all of his "team" so far. Kind, compassionate, and thorough. They listen to him and address his needs and goals. They even have a "car" in the therapy dept. to make sure he can get in and out of before they send him home. His first words were "I want to drive" when they were putting him in the passenger seat๐
They are addressing not only his injuries from the fall, but also making considerations / adjustments for his old injuries as well. They are pushing him gently but not too fast and giving him rest during his therapy. They helped him with a shower first thing this morning and that made a huge difference in how he feels. The Dr. explained his pelvic fractures with a diagram. He has three pelvic fractures and 4 of the 11 ribs he fractured are broken completely in two and move at times as he breathes. This is horribly painful and can cause distress.
They are working on returning him to the best version of himself. He is a testimony to all he comes in contact with and doesn't neglect to tell each one thank you. He even fist bumped a fellow therapy patient today to encourage him.
Pain is managed, only a minor breakthrough last night which they have already put measures in place to avoid a recurrence. God is showing Himself faithful and Daniel is a vessel in the Potter's hands willing for this to be used as God sees fit. Thanks for your love, prayers, and support.
It is best for any visitors to be after 4 pm as they are working him throughout the day with different therapy departments and trying to give him rest in between.
Also be mindful that therapy tires him completely so shorter visits are better, but there is a community room a few people can gather to give him a break if needed.
His and our hearts are touched beyond expression with the love and support he has been shown. Please continue to pray. You are faithful in being the hands and feet of Jesus to our family.๐
