Returned to the hospital at 7:00 am. Tom had a pretty good night. They gave him something to help him sleep. I also took something to help me sleep and woke up feeling ready to go at 5:00 am. Kylisa picked me up and drove me to the hospital so I wouldn't have to put a car in the parking garage. Physical Therapy came and decided he really didn't need them. (His dance moves are just fine!) Occupational Therapy will work with us while we are here and when we go home to help us adjust to taking care of this new "hole." Nurses are great--Michelle, Meghan and Farrah.
Left ICU at 1:30 for a "room of our own." It's a little one but we will manage. They think we will be here through the weekend. I have moved in--this is really DOWNSIZING!
Tom's neck is swollen and very bruised looking but the doctors are happy with how it looks so we are happy, too. Tom has been more communicative via his white board than he has been since he started using it. I think it's because he doesn't have to think about breathing and I love it.
Tonight I am trying to figure out Itunes and Ipods and Internet connections. THAT'S what I want for Christmas--an organized Ipod! Kemp is bringing a small humidifier for the room--One of the hardest parts is the dry air and my nose!
No computer hookup yet so will post this when I get that figured out.
