July 25, 2021-Day 12

Day 12 of being in the hospital, its hard to believe, things are moving along slow and steady.

Got a message from Carlisle, saying he got to eat this am…I didn’t believe it…😎 but it was true!!

We came to the hospital a little later, around 10:30am today.  We go through the regular check in, and get our Family Support stickers.

I get Carlisle his shoes and ready, we come out the waiting room after a few laps around the nurses station, to sit with Veronica.

We are back in the room, because the nurse needed to take blood. Then the mystery of where Carlisle’s IV is, he’s having a different type then just regular IV, so its always a mystery where to find the next bag.  So the nurse is on the hunt, I could hear her ask if anyone had seen his bag of IV.  She remembers seeing another bag, but couldn’t remember were. She found one bag, comes back and I mentioned yesterday there was two bags on a little shelf outside the door.  Sure enough there’s one bag there, so now there’s an extra bag. So she changed Carlisle’s IV and started his lunch via feeding tube. 

Short lived …. Food Day!!!…..so today Carlisle had coffee with sugar, jello, orange juice. Went down okay, but needs to wait until tomorrow, they may put a few stitches in his trachea area tomorrow, a bit of jello came out of his trachea so they will wait another day, every thing else went down okay. So that good news.

Its been a pretty uneventful day, just the same as I have been writing, it’s getting better every day.

I’m writing this at 1:48pm, Veronica is in with Carlisle 

Veronica and I went for lunch, I’m with Carlisle now. Just hanging out.

4:30pm Veronica and I head back to the hotel to give Carlisle a break and so he can have a nap.

Back to the hospital 7:00pm, we are sitting in the visiting room, just hanging out.

8:23pm Veronica is in with Carlisle, we will head back to the hotel soon. Tomorrow might be a busy day for Carlisle, with the weekend over.

Wanted to say thanks to the hospital staff for their continued care of Carlisle. And a big thank you to everyone reaching out, sending messages, helping out looking after our place, and so many more, a big thanks to you all!!! ❤️Much love ❤️ Hopefully we will be back soon!! 

Have a great night!!
