Well I am one person who is glad this weather didn't get as tricky as the forecasters thought it might. Me and the kids headed in town to drop Robby off with pappy while I went to my office, and then ran some errands for mom and dad. Dad had a decent day at therapy - but not a "victory" day as he calls it because he couldn't make it all the way to the end of the bars. He did make it half way, it's just extremely difficult for him and his therapist said as his muscles get stronger he will do much better - so they finished up therapy with exercises and then Robby escorted him around the building for a while. They had to move dad to a different room today - with a new room mate who is a long term resident. Seems real nice, but boy does he keep that room hot! Not quite the match we had with Mr. Bill - but we'll make it work. We got dad all settled in and moved his things for him. But the room seems smaller - so not as much room for our "clan." Dad said, well I guess we won't be having any parties like we did last night for a while. (We had about 7 people in his room at one time - we had a really fun evening!) So dad is now in 147A. The reason he was moved is because 2 new patients were arriving from City Hospital and they are "infectious" and can not be placed with dad. So dad moved in with someone else. Dad said, "Well hopefully the next time I move, it will be to home!" Amen on that one dad!
Mom is still in Winchester Medical Center - maybe for the next day or so. They need her INR (therapeutic blood level) to be at 2.5 and this morning it was only 1.3. So we'll wait and watch and hopefully see what the doctors say in the morning - but its the weekend so who knows what will happen. Dad wants to see her so badly - we sure hope we can make that happen soon.
We are hoping to get the van so we can get dad to church Sunday -- even if mom is not up to going, I really think he will want to - or we may also get the van and take dad to Winchester to see mom depending on the weather. Thanks for checking in on us!
