DAD GOT TRANSFERED TODAY !!! Dad transferred to Covenant Rehab on Michigan Ave in Saginaw. He is very nervous about going through rehab. Roger, Mom and I were up to him before they transferred him. Terry Loznak came in to see him just before they loaded him up Dad's eyes just lit up and he reached for him, Dad was quite pleased to see him. We met Dad and helped him get settled into his new room, it is much large and brighter.
Dad is breathing on his own with just oxygen under his nose. His trach is capped off, he has passed the swallow tests too. They are now waiting for orders to remove his trach. While there tonight Cortney called me on the two-way, she talked to Dad, when they were finished he said "I love you honey",he has said a few other things to Roge and me. He is talking a little, it is very hard for him, he says it hurts. His voice is very raspy and bubbling, he also talks very quietly, so he is hard to hear but will improve with time.
We took a cake up for Dad's birthday (a day early) to the nurses and to thank them for taking care of him. Many of the nurses came in his room to say Good Bye and make sure he will come back and see them. It is amazing that a man that doesn't talk can become so popular.
Right now their plan is three to four weeks then hopefully the next step is home.
Please keep the prayers and positive thoughts flowing their way....
Love to All;
