Remote!

Sunday Kathy seemed to be relaxed and stable. They moved her from the 10th floor to the 6th floor and twice on the 6th floor. She currently is in room 606. (Thanks-not 666) All her vitals are good with plenty of oxygenation and a steady heart rate. She does seem to have a little shake in her hands and right leg that is bothersome. Overall her physical condition, even with pneumonia, is getting incrementally better. When you walk in the door, immediately Kathy looks like she’s feeling better and more rested.

The mental picture is a little more complicated. I’m sure it will take time and lots of frustration. Kathy tends to loose interest in minute to minute events but sure likes her TV! I don’t know why, but I think the constant change of pace on the TV screen keeps her attention. She does recognize people and understand what you’re talking about but does not seem super interested. She is right now controlling the TV and having a glycerin stick.

Tomorrow, Kathy will get back into all of her therapy; physical, swallowing, speech and breathing. Sometime tomorrow, they will give us more information on when she will be transferred to San Diego Rehabilitation. IF ANY OF YOU know stories of good or bad on San Diego Rehab, Continental Rehab, Sharp Rehab or Palomar Rehab, I would appreciate it. I hope to make a run to personally visit the facilities tomorrow.
