Things Are Looking Up

Saturday morning here at UW is pretty quiet! No traffic this morning and the medical center is VERY quiet.  We aren't used to that!

Les got moved to a regular floor last night.  My friend Lori was here for the afternoon; she had gone to get a cup of coffe about 6.  While she was gone two nurses came in and threw all of Les' stuff on the bed, unplugged all his tubes and wires, and took off!!  I had to grab all my stuff and Lori's stuff and try to keep up.  He is on a floor with several trach patients.  It's quieter, but the nurses don't come as quickly when called.  Weird to see so many people with trachs!

Les had a much better day yesterday.  First thing in the morning he got up and walked with David from PT (David is who we work with on the wheelchair fitting).  Les walked twice more yesterday.  Now today he has made the rounds twice already! Niece Emily came and spent the night with Lori and I last night, so Emily got to walk with uncle this morning.  We also had visits yesterday from Pam and Brandi, Sheri and Kay.  I had a great lunch with Lori, Sheri and Kay.  Ben spent some time with Les in the morning; he and Kate popped back in later.  Thank you all for visiting!

Today is Leslie's birthday.  Our kids and grand baby are coming down and will spend the night.  Les is resting up for the excitement.   No talk of going home yet and I think Les is okay with that.
