July 18, 2021-Day 5

 July 18, 2021

Just another manic Monday…oh wait it’s  Sunday. 

Veronica and I got over to the hospital about 10am, we went through the regular check in, they call up stairs to Carlisle’s floor, to make sure we can visit. We get the green light. We have new visitor stickers. They keep us guessing…lol

We came upstairs to Carlisle’s floor, I sign us in, so I can go in first to make sure its safe for Veronica to visit.  Today they are already finished his bath etc. The more experienced nurse seem to be on and maybe quicker, but we are also an hour later then my visits before.

So Veronica goes in for a quick check in, then we switch out, she’s heading to Tim Hortons for breakfast, I had tea and a bagel at the hotel before we left.

Carlisle has the trachea cap off, so can’t talk, but can use his finger to cover in order to talk. The RA…I think thats what the nurse said he was called, would be in to put the cap on again.  If Carlisle can have the cap on his trachea for 24 hours then he can have that removed. He still has the feeding tube in.

They are watching him, because he had a bit of a fever yesterday, but did blood work, and he was clear from infection.  His fever could be do to surgery, and a number of other things.  

He is getting up to use the bathroom, but thats not that easy, with all the tubes, and the big tower, they have to change his oxygen tube (blue) to a different tube that is connected to the wall, it has a long cord, that can run to the bathroom and goes just under the bathroom door.  

Baby steps!!!  Don’t want to go to quickly, healing is different for everyone.  We don’t want to go 1 step forward and then 2 back.  Carlisle is fighting. ❤️

I feeling the need to write down things as we go through the day, then Veronica and I discovered we had different views, because we weren’t in to see Carlisle at the same time.

All and all Carlisle is improving every day, and well be home soon!! I will keep updating you of his journey, stay tuned!!

Thank you all for taking the time to reach out to me, I am feeling your love, if I don’t get back or send a message, I’m just a bit overwhelmed in this department, but we are so thankful for everyones messages, prayers, kind words, sending love right back at you all xoxo

I have added a few pictures to my Facebook, because I can seem to afd pictures from my phone.
