One month and counting...

I took Ron to the ER in Bowling Green on January 21 (ER to their ICU); 12 hours later he was admitted to U of M Hospitals-Mott Hospital. (Then to ICU in University Hospital and back to Mott) Seven days later he was admitted to BG Manor with hospice services. He was on hospice for 19 days, and now he is in the same facility with skilled nursing services and rehab. Today he was planning with Doctor Wojo how he could go to the Villa to watch the Daytona 500 on Sunday. Really!! I will need to find manpower to get him from the car, up two stairs, and to his chair. We have a wheelchair at home but will need oxygen tanks again. There is some planning to do if this is going to happen!! The electric oxygen machine that we had at home only went to 5 liters, and he is now on 6 liters. I can hardly believe that this is a consideration!
Ron is making progress in therapy; he needs two people to transfer him, and he has an air mattress here, so it is too early to think of him going home. (But I am very sure that he is thinking of it!) He is having therapy 5 days a week. Stay tuned!
