Mom is now in room 325 of Truett. I have heard it described (before anyone went to see it) as a type of ICU for neurology. Mom has her own room with a chair! The chair folds out into a "bed" and Daddy thinks he is going to stay in the room with her each night.
I didn't get too many details from Daddy. He was very busy visiting the hospital, driving down South to meet with a client and then back up to the hospital late tonight. I am sure I will have more details tomorrow into Wednesday.
If they moved Mom into a "room" then she must be doing well - right??
Ellen - if you want to add more in the comment section, please do. Every time I thought about calling I either couldn't because of work responsibilities or I didn't have your phone number on me.
School was wonderful today! I got back into the swing of things very easily. The children greeted me with hugs and smiles. It would have been a difficult day if I didn't like my job, but I really do. Sometimes I feel almost guilty for getting paid to do something that I enjoy so much!

Sorry I'm so delayed at giving a written report. I'm just now getting to a computer!
ReplyDeleteMonday seemed like forever ago, and I understand that Debbie continues to improve with each day.
On Monday morning she was still in ICU, but we managed to visit for 3 hours! Well, of course, I did all the talking with a few whispers from her, a few smiles, and even a couple of laughs.
She grew sad when I told her I was going to step out into the hall while she got some rest. "Go get Dick" she said. When I told her that Dick was at work but would be back shortly, her expression turned very sad. "I haven't seen him since Friday." I had to reassure her that Dick had been there all weekend and that she had just seen him on Sunday.
On a funny note, two things come to mind:
1)Ethan is #1 doctor. When I asked her about physical therapy, she told me no one could proceed without his permission.
2) She wanted me to call her school and let them know she wouldn't be there this week. She gave me the # and extension, and who to talk to. She even pointed to the phone on the wall, and was insistent that I call. When I couldn't get a dial-tone out, I reassured her that Dick had already communicated to them about her situation.
It was a good day. Debbie had more visitors while I was there: Cheryl Carson, Teri Vehon, Sherry Robinson, Max, and 2 ladies from Cedar Hill that I'm sorry I can't remember their names. (actually, one name is Debbie...I remember that!).
