You would not believe the difference

DH is in a quality hospital/rehab center and within 15 minutes of arriving his entire attitude and well being changed. Instead of being sick he was recovering. The difference was amazing. The people at the new location care. They were on top of the meds immediately and had no trouble going over the meds and dosages. They haven't missed a single dose or had the incorrect amount. I truly believe the other place was selling drugs that should have gone to the patients!

DH is in therapy right now. The therapist that evaluated him yesterday afternoon had him walking up and down the hall with a walker and indicated that DH was not to spend much time in bed. DH must be walking or sitting in a chair, instead of vegging in the bed. Hooray! Finally someone who knows and cares about recovery.

DH is sharper than he has been in weeks. We discussed his reaction to the treatment he has received since the ambulance ride. Initially he was angry when he realized that we had put him on a ventilator. He was the one to make the decision to turn off the machines when his father was so ill. He never wanted to be hooked up to machines. Now a few days later he realizes that we made a decision based on the background of his wishes. He also knows that in the future all factors will be taken into consideration before any medical intervention is done. That he wants DNR under extreme circumstances I understand and will follow, but if he can recover the way he is now, intervention will occur.

We are going to Gatlinburg for a week in early November. He is excited about it. He is already making plans on locations he wants to visit. This is an excellent sign. I am so happy and relieved that these two weeks are over and at the same time these two weeks have brought us closer together. Not a nice way to make a marriage stronger, but stronger our marriage is.

Thanks for the prayers. Please continue to pray for all who need prayers. It doesn't matter what your religious background is, you have a entity that you believe in even if it is only a "High Power" and your prayers are heard.
