Jan 5th, Thursday

Another great day! Adelia and I got to the hospital before lunchtime, after she was able to print her boarding pass for tomorrow's plane trip home. The time has flown by, but been wonderful. Marion actually had a sandwich for lunch, it's terrific to see "real" food on his tray.

After lunch we left Marion to nap and went to "shop" for the next stage of his recuperation. His stay at Tahoe-Pacific ends on Feb 17th, and he will have moved past Renown Rehab Hospital. So, Adelia and I visited the 3 skilled nursing facilities that have rehab centers that are on the south end of town. One was terrible (and will remain un-named), it was a close choice between Life Care and Manor Care, but Manor Care is our choice and I am so glad to have had Adelia's input. She has had experience visiting church members and friends in similar places, and her advice was invaluable. Marion has the opprotunity to have therapy up to 7 days a week at Manor Care, and that will make him happy as here the weekends really drag for him. Their goal is to get the patient home as quickly as possible, and in the strongest shape as possible. That is certainly our goal also.

Please keep those prayers coming. Love, Sue
