Ted was not discharged yesterday as planned. He was up twice - walking with his "walker" and his aide ( and me on one occasion). He walked all the way down the hall twice. It is a real ordeal to let him out of bed because he is "hooked up " to so many tubes and machines. The therapists from Miami Valley's rehab facility want to re-evaluate him again and re-assess him for admission to their rehab unit. He has been denied twice but this actually may happen. Miami Valley's rehab unit is my first choice. The primary rehab doctor was out yesterday, so he will have the final decision.
Ted has improved tremendously in the past week. He is trying to talk, but can't quite make out any words. He appears interested in sports scores and the Iowa Caucus.
I asked him if he wanted to watch the Gator Bowl with me, and he nodded affirmatively.
We thank you for your prayers. They are effective. Please keep them going....On to the new year... Anne
