Aug 3, 2021-Day 21

At the hospital at 9:05am line up is out the door, I’m all ready for check in, with my covid questionnaire, and Family support card. Ready for another day of hanging at the hospital. 

Come up on the elevator to the 3rd floor and Carlisle is walking down the hall, towards me. Last night they disconnected Becker-Carlisle’s tower. They will still use it, along with his picc, to give him medicine etc if needed. 

He’s having a nap now, the head of his bed isn’t as elevated as much as it has been. 

Doctor came in, to say they want Carlisle drinking lots of water to keep his kidney function up. And could be looking at release in the next few days.

Lunch time, has come and gone, it’s 1:30pm I’ve just finished eating my lunch as well. Just resting/having a break in the waiting room, letting my food digest.

We have had a few different visitors, physical therapy, skin graft dept (can’t remember the name), doctor, dietitian. Things are busy because we just finished a long weekend, and the hospital staff is preparing to send Carlisle home….soon, maybe tomorrow or the next day. Fingers crossed for tomorrow.😎🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞😎

We went for a long walk to the healing garden on the 4th floor then took the elevator up to the 5th floor, to check out the bridge look out above. Then come back to Carlisle’s room, and he did some physical exercises he was given.

I’m crocheting, Carlisle is having a little nap.

Today is busy again, not like yesterday’s draggy day. I’m happy about the quicker day.

4:30ish dinner arrived, Carlisle got to picked his dinner, and tomorrow’s menu. So that makes meals more enjoyable. He also picked hot sauce for his puréed chicken, so that helped spice things up…😎

We walked and hung out, today was a better day, then yesterday. Just cruising along.

Carlisle’s Doctor did come by tonight, said they would try to get him home in the next few days. Fingers crossed its tomorrow…🤞🤞

I’m back at the hotel, 9:30pm.  Watching the Olympics, night to all, checking in on Carlisle’s progress.
