Cunningham-Ramos AML & Stroke after TBI Journey

FutureCare – Chesapeake, Arnold, MD

After passing the swallow test and being allowed to eat soft foods, the next step was to get an acute rehabilitation facility to accept him. I was really hoping that he could be accepted at the John Hopkins Bayview Stroke facility. Unfortunately, he was not accepted because he needs a lot of care.

When the case manager called me at 4 pm yesterday to tell me the ‘bad’ news, she mentioned FutureCare Chesapeake, a skilled nursing facility, which is about 2 miles from my home. I quickly went to the facility and toured it, looked at the ratings and decided it was a good enough place. He was taken there this afternoon.

I’ve talked to everyone in charge of his care and I’m praying for him to be comfortable there.
