July 20, 2021-day 7

Got over to the hospital around 10:15, went through the regular check in, mentioned we should ask about getting a card, so they don’t have to call up to the ward to make sure we can visit, just to make it a bit easier for us.

I checked us in, I put us on separate lines this time, so that if Veronica goes back to the hotel at a different time then me.

Carlisle has got his monitor off his arm, where they used the skin graft, artery and vein. He has a cover over that to keep it safe. He has his leg graft area bandage taken off, it had to be uncovered for a few days, to form a skin.

They also took a X-ray and an ultrasound today.

He still has his trachea and its been capped, so either today or tomorrow they can take that out.

They had to hook up another IV. The one in his foot is closed up for now, but can be hooked back up at anytime. 

10:30 Veronica is in visiting now. I’m hanging in the waiting room. Veronica is going to make a Tim Hortons run after her check in visit.

We had tea, and some fruit at the hotel for breakfast and watching the Blue oasis space rocket, the Jeffery Bezos funded one, take off to space, an un-piloted rocket, start to finish was in the air for 10 or so mins. 

It’s 10:47am while I am writing this. The days are flying by now, it seems, not as much free time.

Veronica and I came back to the hotel at about 1:20pm

I walked to the counter store, to get milk for my tea, and Veronica wanted ice cream.

We rested at the hotel room, had some dinner. Then headed back to the hospital around 6:00pm. Its cooler out and not as much smoke in the air.

I visited for a bit, now Veronica is visiting. She went back to the hotel around 7:30pm she saw a big bunny in the parking lot…maybe a hare.

I stayed until around 10pm, busy night, the doctor stopped in, looked at his arm and leg graft sites, and listened to his artery and vein.  Hopefully the trachea thingy comes out tomorrow. 

They have been taking blood to keep track of his kidney function. 

Thanks for checking in, I’m heading to bed, night!!
