The medical file of Wayne, from May 1st, marked the end of an eight-month regimen of physical therapy.
The day before, April 30th, he had undergone his 10th session of hypnotherapy since being admitted, a treatment that was now noted as suspended.
After Penn's evaluation the previous evening, Wayne's medication had been decreased to two-thirds of his daily dose.
Following that, Penn was a near-constant presence at the institute.
Apart from the hours spent in the lab, he was meticulously monitoring Wayne's every move.
Half a month later.d2
Wayne's medical file reported zero occurrences of hallucinations or auditory delusions. His sleep and diet were in excellent shape, no abnormalities in his physical movements, and his mental state was stable.
At that point, Penn cautiously reduced Wayne's medication dosage even further.
Another half-month of observation ensued, and the medical records still showed no hallucinations or auditory delusions, with sleep and diet remaining commendable. Wayne was moving more, thanks in part to the removal of certain suppressive medications, and his overall spirit had noticeably improved from the first half of the month.
Drawing from his experience, Penn had anticipated a rebound phase and potential withdrawal symptoms after the cessation of physical therapy and the reduction of medication.
But aside from mild withdrawal reactions, which Wayne could manage on his own, none of the adverse conditions within the predicted range had occurred.
This thrilled Penn immensely.
However, given Wayne's initial concealment of his symptoms at the onset of his illness, and his current eagerness to return home, Penn remained extra vigilant. He had encountered patients before who, in their desperation to go home, had hidden the true extent of their ailments. So amidst his excitement, he kept a watchful eye on Wayne's every action.
Most patients did not realize that whenever they had hallucinations or delusions, despite their best efforts to conceal them, there would always be involuntary physical reactions that gave them away.
To Penn's relief, neither he nor the medical team had detected any such anomalies during their extended observation of Wayne.
June arrived.
