He did it! I got the call after 9am this morning that he was to be moved at 10am. Yesterday, the news was probably this afternoon after the discharge was written. Things change. I arrived as he was being wheeled out of the unit, so got to kiss him good-bye before I went to sort through what would go to the new hospital, and what would go home of all the things we had accumulated during the 4 weeks that we "lived" at Tahoe-Pacific Hospital.
We are settled in room 118W at Renown Rehabilitation Hospital after a false start in room 107. That was a room with the bed next to the door, VERY claustraphobic, at least for the visitor, if not the patient!! Not to mention as dark as the black hole of calcutta! His new room is at the end of the hall, farthest from the startion, with the bed next to the window. He had to promise to not climb out of bed himself. Tomorrow he is evaluated by the therapists (me too) and we hope that we gain back priviledges for me to help him to the bathroom, and even to stand at the side of the bed as necessary. For today, he could not set even a toe out of bed without a nurse there.
Very exciting, the Physicians Assistant that interviewed him today seemed to feel that he would be home in about 2 weeks. So the end appears to be in sight. Thank you again for all the prayers and support. We are seeing answers. Love, Sue
