July 27, 2021-Day 14

Woke up at 8:00 am, already got a text from Carlisle…that’s a really good sign. He’s improving every day!!! 

We get to the hospital at 9:40ish, no one was in the line, we check in and get our Family Support stickers, and head up stairs.

I sign us in, at the nurses station and I head to Carlisle’s room, and there he is having breakfast …. 😎 okay so he’s not eating yet… he had the swallowing specialist in, so he could practice with the end of the stuff he had. 

Kidney specialist came in, he’s not going to be eating for a few days, just via feeding tube. Making sure things are back to normal with his kidney function numbers. 

Washed and ready for the day, its 10:45am, moved chair to the other side of his bed, so now he can see more from his chair.

Went for a walk and came out to hang with Veronica, in the waiting room. 11:30am. Veronica went back with Carlisle to his room.  The nurse changed his arm dressing, looks great.  His leg skin graft area looks like a cell phone burned his leg, the skin graft area is the same size as his cell phone. Its healing, and needs cream applied to help with healing, and for scaring, so its less itchy while it heals.

1:25pm went for a long walk, now hanging out in the chair in his room

Another walk, sitting in the visitor room for a bit, having a nap its 1:50pm  We did some green swabs after coming in from the last walk. 

Its really quiet for us now, not many people stop in to see Carlisle.  (Not many Nurses, Doctors, specialists…its healing time) That’s a good sign I guess…😎 healing naps are in order. 

2:25 pm out for a little walk, now sitting in visiting room, with Veronica.

Fast forward until 5:10pm Veronica and I went downstairs to the cafeteria for dinner, we haven’t tried everything so we have options….😎 

I’m back in Carlisle’s room, hanging out, sitting on his bed, he’s got the chair.

Carlisle’s Doctor came in, the dr and his team are going to put in a stitch or two tomorrow, to Carlisle’s trachea area, then he can start eating….fingers crossed 🤞 

It’s 7:40pm the neighbor went home not that long ago, so they are cleaning up the other bed and area, getting ready for the next person.  

Carlisle is ready for bed, but soon the nurse will be in to take vitals, I hear them having a meeting now, the next shift started at 7:00 maybe 7:15, I’m not sure. 

I hear someone’s tower beeping, so that usually happens around this time…just the way the cookie crumbs…or IV empties. Carlisle’s tower beeps less…and hopefully he wont have one soon.

11:00pm now, think we left the hospital around 8:00pm, I doing a load of laundry, then heading to bed.

Thanks again for all your love and support!!! xoxo
