#150 - Boot Camp Rehab
When the going gets tough, the tough get going. Feeling the tension building at Shepherd for whether Archer or Archer's body was capable enough to be in the rehab program, the race was on to get Archer off a ventilator. And the stakes were high. Come with us as we uncover wisdom about how to source energy, courage, and love, and in harrowing moments when the body is not working and when giving up threatens to set in. You'll also learn all about the often never discussed care of a person with quadriplegia as Louise learns in her own Boot Camp.
This episode features interviews with:
Tara Grimes, the Access Case Manager for the mid-Atlantic region for the Shepherd Center. She is responsible for meeting with families who have been referred to Shepherd, assessing if the patient is a good fit for their program, and helping to arrange the logistics for the patient to be transferred.
Bernadette Mauro, Director of Information & Resource Services at the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation. Bernadette became a friend and resource for Louise during Archer’s transition from Atlanticare ICU to the Shepherd Center and went out on a limb to get involved on the front end with Louise and Archer, which gave Louise the inspiration for what to create for SCI families years later.
