July 29, 2021-Day 16

Had a bit of a sleep in….it was almost 9am by the time I got moving. But we got to the hospital about 10am the parking lot was full, so we expected a longer line at the health check in area, but it wasn’t to bad. We go through faster than most as we are becoming pros….lol and we know the drill.  Its Day 16 already!!! 

Head up to the 3rd floor, we head to the waiting room, we get our favorite chair.  I check us in and head to Carlisle’s room. He has gotten a few more stitches in his trachea area. But did have a few liquid foods for breakfast.

Still has his IV, and tower, in tow, we are calling it Becker, even though it’s beeping less…😎 not sure when he will have to give back his tower, hopefully soon.

It’s 11:12am now, sitting in the waiting room, Carlisle’s having a nap, he can sleep better in a chair, and when he’s discharged, he’s encouraged to sleep in a chair or with his head raised up to help with drainage.

Lunch time will be soon, wonder whats for lunch today. I’m thinking the same liquids but you never know. Oh I see the food lady just going by, she asked Carlisle if we wanted his lunch out there, but decided to go back to his room.

Liquid food again today, Tea, vegetable broth and orange juice. 

12:50pm I’m heading for some lunch, Veronica and I split up, so she’s with Carlisle while I’m having lunch. She had already been for lunch earlier, while Carlisle was eating.

1:35pm sitting in the waiting room, finished my lunch. Carlisle and Veronica are in his room. I wish I had brought my crochet. Carlisle and Veronica come out to see me, in the waiting room.

2:25pm feeding via feeding tube finished.

Dinner showed up around 4:30pm, Carlisle had Tea, chicken broth, apple juice. Wonder what kind of food will be next and when. They top him up with feeding tube food.

We came back to the hotel, around 8 pm. We are watching the Olympics, then I’m going to head to bed, ready for another hospital adventure.

Thanks for stopping by, have a good night!!! xoxo
