Even MORE Wednesday News!

 Woot!

We MOVED!

We can now be found in the 

Taj Mahal of hospital rooms.

If you just happen to find yourself

in Wichita KS in the next few days,

look us up!

St Francis Hospital

929 St Francis

Wichita KS 67214

Room 7054.

It used to be a double, but they

renovated it into a private room.

And it is ALL OURS!

On the very far wall is a closet to 

stash stuff in.

And a couch that makes into a bed.

Then there is his bed and all his

medical equipment.

On this end (you can't see) there is a little

cubby with a sink and more closets.

And a FULL BATHROOM with

a shower!

He got to get out of bed again this

afternoon and actually use the

bathroom for the first time in FOREVER.

He had a great visit with his VERY

motivated and enthusiastic

respiratory tech that included a couple

of different types of homework assignments

to help expand his lungs and get

him out of here faster.

After all the excitement, he took a nap

and I went down to the car to get rid

of some things I won't need anymore.

Like my neck brace.

No more sleeping in a chair!

And then I stopped by the cafe and

picked up a Philly Cheese and Fries.

Ate it in the room while Rod snoozed.

They brought up some beef tips and

roasted carrots.

He said it was actually pretty good and

although he didn't eat all of it,

he ate more than he has been.

So that's also good.

And I'm making him drink his Ensures.

Gotta keep that protein up!

Just did his final official breathing treatment of

the evening and now I'm going to run

take a quick shower before his nurse comes

for his 9:00 pills and eye drops.

(I'm still having him do his homework

breathing every 30 minutes if he's awake.)

Our tech is off tomorrow.

We want to blow him away

(see what I did there)

when he comes back on Friday!

******************************

YOUR homework assignment.

(should you choose to accept it...)

We are now very specifically praying

that he will be accepted at the

HAYS MED REHAB CENTER.

The only other option is Garden City

which is 2+ hours to our south.

Which, obviously, we will do it we have to.

But, boy, being in Hays would be so much better.

Unfortunately there is no

inpatient rehab in WaKeeney.
