Journey Home

Home  at last  surrounded by family. Still improving and continuing home therapy.
This years journey had A few bumps in the road , which prevented completion.
See you next year.....

California bound

THE EAGLE HAS LANDED. We are back on the west coast . Landed at Napa Jet Port. Wine country.  This is close to the acute rehab center where mr. Wong is creating some new stories about his motorcycle experience. His length of stay should be only a week.

MOVING FORWARD

Tuesday July 1

Mr. Wong is moving forward . We are waiting for insurance approval for transport back to the  Bay Area . Vallejo acute rehab center.  The plan so far .if approved , California bound tomorrow. . Hope to see the Pacific Ocean soon.
I must say the Maine medical center is an excellent facility. . Don't want to visit it again.

Weekend

. The trauma team is ready to kick Larry out. Moving closer to the exit. Weekend staff is limited , but arrangements to get home are in the process. Hopefully Monday or Tuesdays we will be seeing the west coast.
HOMEWARD BOUND IS ON THE HORIZON.......
to be continued .... One more time

Thursday. June 26

Sorry , I have  been  a little preoccupied. Long days  and I had to change hotels again.
There were a couple of days that caused some set backs,  but all is good now.
. Mr. Wong is finally moving into a positive mode.
All his extra life line attachments , I.V. , epidural, antibiotics and fluids , have all been removed. He is back on his normal cocktail of meds including his inhalers.and some pain meds to help the broken parts. His Back , 5 ribs and pelvic.
Physical therapy has him walking the halls. just like all the other invalids.(but slower). He sports the evening  gown quite well.. No tushy showing. The R.N. Call them jonnies and make sure it is tucked into his back brace  just right
He still has an Eco and a lung test to go. Hopefully into rehab tomorrow ......
occupational therapy will teach me how to put on the back brace. It is a must. He is not allowed to be up more than a 30' angle without it.
To be continued ..... Almost home.....
Have great day........

Saturday, day 12

Upon walking into Mr. Wong's room, a greeting of GOOD MORNING: makes me know that he working harder and ready for healing challenges. 🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞
His appetite has improved. He is asking for food, actually feeling hungry. All of this will help his recovery. Strength builders.
It is the weekend. So. Patients progress seems to be a very slow pace. (The norm for all hospitals)
He is using the phone for texting. Any messages that require a response would help.
There won't be much improvement over the weekend : short staff and a new floor with a completely different routine(if any)
Moving forward.......no estimate for travel home yet.
To be continued......

Friday, 11 days

 Went to larry room this morning. Doing much better. More alert , better pain control . Better sense of humor. Breathing still an issue , some lung and most ribs the problem. Need to build strength and get him eating. Still no appetite. Tomorrow should be a better day. One at a time.
