Thursday

Im confused.

They were going to ship dad to that specialty hospital today. When the social worker called dad's insurance company to approve it, they said that they won't approve the transfer until 7 days after the trach procedure. So, that puts us at Monday. BUT..he may not be medically complex enough to go there on Monday. ???? WTF???

TODAY, he is "complex" and if he were to go today, they expected him to be there 4 to 5 weeks. But if we wait until MONDAY, he isn't sick enough to go??

Someone shoot me.

He has pneumonia again. So, they put a pic line back in for antibiotics. He has however, passed his breathing tests the past 2 nights so they are supposed to take him off the ventilator today.

He also has his days and nights confused. He was alert and moving all around last night, but he is sleepy and disengaged again today. I still think he is pissed about the trach. Oh well, he will get over it.

His CT scan looked good. His ventricles in his brain are smaller. He still does have swelling from surgery. We aren't sure how long that will take to go down.

I'm excited to go kick his ass this weekend and read him the stories that some of you wrote. Thanks a bunch!!
