History & Physical Dr. Baras

Had been seen by me at College Harbor and started to make improvement. Started to show some vocalization where she will say no and occasionally has had some voluntary movement on command of eyes and mouth as reported by husband and mother. Ready for inpatient rehab program here at Bayfront. Physical exam shows easily startled to her name or when bedrail fell down. She will close her eyes to any threatening response around her face and blink appropriately. Tracking is inconsistent. Verbal output reported by husband and other family members and therapists at College Harbor. No voluntary movement on command at this time. Rancho Los Amigos probably about a 2, possibly 3. Responds to pain with extremity movement and moaning.

Pt. is arousable and has roving eyes, altho I do not think she is following any commands. Moans, has moments of alertness. Pupils symmetrical and contents show a slight response.
