July 23, 2021-Day 10

At the hospital at 10:00 am, we do the regular check in, have done the health check in, they are now asking if you are fully vaccinated, which we are.  They call us, I show the family support card we are given, yesterday it was good for us both, and today we each need a card, so they have to call upstairs ti make sure Veronica can visit. We are cleared, I go upstairs and sign us both in.  Then I asked for a card for Veronica as well.  

Go and get Carlisle, so we come to the waiting room to hang out with Veronica. 

We meet with Alan (not the dietitian) he’s from physiotherapy (if there are any mobility issues at need addressed at home) at 10:30 to go over home mobility, things we may need at home, nothing needed. 

Carlisle got out his wires that monitor his artery and vein this am, not sure when.

We are on hold for going home as Carlisle is having some issues due to his long surgery. They are looking at giving him a pill to address these issues next week. They have to make sure he’s healed enough before giving him this pill.

He’s looking forward to eating soon,  I think he will have to see a swallowing specialist, maybe 

Eric, Carlisle’s buddy, is on his way to Alaska, so has stopped in, to visit for the night.  So we are trying to get Carlisle outside to see him it’s 1:30pm  visit complete, back upstairs, after we beeped the whole way back into hospital, we sounded like a big truck backing up. Nobody wanted to ride the elevator with us beeping….😜  (Elevators are limited to 4 people)

Get back to the third floor, into Carlisle’s room and I plug in the tower. Silence!!!!

 Its been suggested to us, that we need to name his tower…. Let me see!!! 🤔 any suggestions!!! Please keep it PG!!

3:48pm taking blood, still taking blood every 6 hours.

4:36pm Veronica is back in, so we are back out in the visiting room. Carlisle is napping while we visit.

Doctor walked by so we chatted, no food until he’s trachea has closed on its own, fingers crossed its before Monday!!  

Heading back to the room, 4:45pm I’m sure dinner will be starting soon, via feeding tube.

Veronica and I are going to head for dinner soon.

Back from dinner, its 8:00pm 

Went for a walk.

9:50pm heading back to hotel around 10pm.

Night to all!!
