Most of you already know Steve had a stroke the morning of December 4th. At the time the family subconsciously did not start putting out stuff on social media and decided to tell a lot of you privately. Almost everyone knows and the out pouring of phone calls received has been incredible.
After almost two weeks at Brigham & Women’s Hospital Steve was moved to Spaulding Rehabilitation Center in Charlestown where he has been receiving world class care and undergoes 3-4 hours of pretty intense OT, PT, and SLP therapy a day. It can be pretty exhausting for him to do things many of us take for granted. Just to be able to stand up open the lid on something, or to take a sip of water and not have to worry about it going down the wrong track and into our lungs are all things he cannot do independently. Nevertheless, 98% of the time he’s the same old Steve Doyle: laughing, joking, smiling, and driving his nurses and rehabilitation therapists crazy. A lot of things about him physically have changed but for an episode that has largely impacted his brain, he hasn’t changed one bit mentally or personally. But there’s that time where this recovery process is very emotional and weighs heavily on him. Steve has remained at Spaulding Rehab for the past 40+ days and is scheduled for surgery following additional rehab therapy and skilled nursing care.
