DH is much better

DH is symptom free. He has beaten the pneumonia, the staff infection and his kidneys are back to his baseline level. He is still very weak.

DH will be transferred to a rehab facility in Cincinnati today. His doctor expects him to be there for two weeks. It is further away from our home and I will only be able to visit in the evening. The important this is that DH is getting better! Thank you for all your prayers.

Yesterday evening DH seemed a little disoriented. He was talking about things I had never heard him discuss before. I don't know if it is the dementia or not. I do not know exactly what the rehab facility will be ordered to do, but I hope a full dementia exam will be part of it. DH's doctor had talked about it four weeks ago. We will have to see what is ordered.

I made a friend while DH was in ICU. Her name is Carol. Her husband is very ill with congestive heart failure and pulmonary failure. I met her as I was walking into the hospital today and she indicated that she thought he had taken a turn for the worse overnight. Please pray for Carol as she goes through loosing a husband of close to 50 years.

Please continue to pray for family members of dementia patients and the patients themselves. It is hard to see a loved one loose there memory. It is harder to see them realize that it is happening and there is no reversal. God bless you and have a wonderful weekend.
