After waking up, some what early, we got ready and headed for a walk to the grocery store, needed a few things that the corner store didn’t have. Luckily it was cooler, so we walked before the heat wave of the day happens.
We get to the check in about 10:10am there was a line up, so Veronica did the online check for us. There was a man and his daughter in line behind us, and I heard him saying we have 5 mins to get to your appointment, so we told him about the health check QR code for his phone to speed up check in for him. They did have all 4 stations open, checking people in, so that makes things quicker for everyone.
Went up to the 3rd floor and checked us in. Carlisle was sitting in his chair, cleaning out his mouth with the green spongey thing and water.
He was given it looks like 2 stitches in his trachea area. So hopefully he can start eating soon.
Its 11:00am now, Carlisle and Veronica have been out for a visit already. Im not going to bore you with all the walks etc today, but we will see how the day pans out.
Everyone (no, not everyone but all the nurses, the physio staff, trachea people, etc that has worked with Carlisle) waves at Carlisle when we are sitting in the waiting room, he’s getting to know a lot of people here.
Came out to sit with me for a bit.
11:45-walking the corridor
Feeding tube was started, having a nap its 12:15pm
Having 1st dinner, tea, beef broth, apple juice, jello on the tray, but was instructed not to eat it yet. its 5:00pm things are going down pretty good…..😎 Happy Dance!! The nurse said she can turn on Carlisle’s feed tube after his finished to top him up.
Doctor also stopped in to check on Carlisle, around dinner time, things are looking good.
Veronica and I went don’t stairs for dinner, then she went back to the hotel and I staying over at the hospital for a bit longer its 6:50pm.
We went for a stroll around the nurses station then down the one side of the floor.
Thats all for day, there’s less and less to write about with Carlisle improving every day.
I got back to the hotel around 9:00pm, and I’m having tea and watching the Tokyo Olympics, resting up for another day of hospital adventures.
Night to all!! 😴😴😴
ps Carlisle hasn’t looked at any messages, he’s just not ready yet!!
He’s using his phone for the time….its hard to tell the time of day, not having a window or alot of day light. Military time to the rescue. xo
Hi guys, just heard the news, deleted FB a few years ago. I just want to pass on to you both that Lisa and I are thinking you of you. Carlisle, this is a battle you will win, I have faith you will overcome this. I wish you and Richelle all the best and a speedy recovery.
