Progress Room # 3114

-

Cornell is doing pretty well today. He sat up and stood up with help. Even with a head ache, he was willing to make an effort. That is progress. 

Yesterday he was moved from the Neuro ICU to the Neuro Acute Care into room 3114. This is the third room he's been assigned in the Acute Care unit, since he's been at the U of U Hospital. 

He seems less disoriented. It has to help that he is getting better sleep in the acute unit. 

If all goes as planned Cornell will begin rehab tomorrow, but I haven't been able to confirm that yet.

I doubt anyone still comes here, but it seemed like a good place to honor his memory.  For his birthday, the kids, their spouses and grandkids and Cornell's brother Louis (in our various locations) ordered Chinese food or pizza and had cheesecake for dessert. Cornell's favorites. Then we had a Zoom meeting and played a game.  The game went like this, on "Go" we wrote down all of the Cornell quotes we could think of. After 3 minutes we stopped and put dow...

Holding Pattern

It looks like there is no room in any care facilities in Pocatello, so we are putting off going home for another day while we work on a plan B, which might actually be yesterday's plan A. The lack of room is about a staffing shortage.  If I get to talk with the case manager before the end of the work day, I might learn more and then I'll add to this post.
