Chris is moving but not to Fairview. He is moving about 5 min east up the hill to Kindred. They have a very good working relationship with the lung transplant team at the Clinic. Chris will be followed closely by the team remotely and they will visit him as well.
They are saying Tuesday.

Chris is weaning more and more off the vent.
He passed the sip test, so he is on a clear diet, which includes some fruit juices and jello as well as broth and tea. He is still on tube feeding and tolerating it a lot better. They put the tube into his small intestine, bypassing his very sensitive stomach. He also has meds that help the food to move along.
He will probably be moving to a rehab place before the month is out. Hopefully, Grace Hospital, on Fairview Hospital's 6th floor of the old bldg. He was there the last time he was REALLY sick.
I was at the hospital when Physical Therapy was there to work with Chris. I found out that Chris is not very cooperative in PT. Poor baby is often very tired. Since I was there, I encouraged him, and he stood for the first time (with help).

Well, I am certainly no Ansel Adams! Still, I am not too unhappy with this picture...
I'd set the camera on M and had the lens all the way out...Considering that I really don't know what I'm doing, I'm pretty happy with this effort!

Concentration and Fatigue will be published in her August 2014 edition!I could not be happier!
