July 26, 2021-Day 13

 Got to the hospital at about 9:30am, the line was a bit on the long side, with lots of people not wearing masks, there’s a big sign that says masks mandatory. We have ours, and change them in every time you come into the hospital. Veronica checked checked us in with our health check questions and I have our cards. We get Family Support stickers again this am.

Head up stairs, check in, Carlisle is sitting up in his chair, so he gets his socks and shoes on, and we head out to the waiting room.  

No food today, have to wait until his trachea area heals on its own. It’s definitely getting better, less coughing. So food is on hold for now. Its 10:20am now.

Went down for an X-ray, Veronica and I got to tag along. The guy, hit Carlisle’s IV on the wall, so it was beeping. The guy was trying to stop the beeping, then just turned it off. Back in the room at 11:10am had to go get a nurse to start it back up.

Nurse for today, RN Natalie, came in to change the bandage on his arm and check everything out. Finished up at 11:45am. 

Veronica and went to lunch, Carlisle was having a nap. Came back about 1:00pm kidney specialist is here, he’s happy with Carlisle’s numbers, so that’s good. Still on IV for now.

Carlisle is napping and the occupational therapy dep. came in to check on Carlisle’s arm skin graft. Its 1:35pm

All the departments are trickling in to check on Carlisle.

Sitting in the chair now.

Back in his bed napping, its a healing kind of day. 2:50pm 

Out to the waiting room to see Veronica, we did a lap before, mostly napping…3:25pm heading back to his room after his IV tower starts beeping.

5:00pm now-Veronica and I are back at the hotel, I needed some air, I was doing alot of yawning. Having a tea, watching the news, we will have dinner then we will head back over to the hospital.
