Today was a day full of information and procedures (new trach and peg tube).
Mom (Nancy) wrote today's update-
Surgeries went well. Looks so much better with tubes gone from mouth and shave under nurse Judy's beauty regimen. He got his first kiss in 10 days! (Not from Judy but from wifey). Nutrition will resume tomorrow through stomach peg.
Social worker described next level of care as long term acute care hospital where he will be weaned off the vent to breathe on his own, range of motion, speech therapy and eating possibly.
We need to choose a place for him to go for this care and he may go as early as Monday.
After this next place there will be another where he gets many hours of pt each day. He needs to be functional enough to benefit from it though.
Thank you all for checking in and please leave a note on the blog if you can.
So amazed by the river of God's provision through so many loving friends and family.
Thank you, JJ Taylor and Janet Larison for waiting with me through surgery today and to Sue Giegler for getting Charlie to the groomer so he makes a better housemate.
Glad that the surgeries went well, and for that kiss! :-) Sending you all good thoughts and prayers. Sonya
