The short time out of hospital wasn't possible for Great Nana either, so we took over a table in the back corner of the cafeteria at VGH. She was out of her room and we could spend time together as a family. Christmas is still almost 3 weeks away, hopefully Richard will continue to improve with each day. Glad to hear your blood work came back really good too.
He would never be approved for a day out right now. He’s 100% dependant for feeding and toileting (cathater) and ever repositioning in bed. He’s have to have 2 nurses accompany him and he still can’t sit. I’d love to bring him home for a few hours but we’re not at that point yet.
I went and saw him for an hour today. I fed him lunch and he ate the most I’ve seen him eat in two weeks. It’s still a far cry from what he used to eat but, it’s an improvement. I’m going to spend the afternoon with him tomorrow after I meet with the social worker. At least that’s what the plan is..it will depend how he’s doing tomorrow.
Good news, I had my bloodwork done today and my white blood cells are at the highest they’ve almost ever been. Normal levels are 1.0-3.3 and I’m at 1.17. It’s barely above normal but given the fact I was at 0.0 six months ago, I’ll take it.
