Hello. Bob has been discharged from OHSU. Woo-hoo! He will be in a place called VIBRA located in Portland. They are a long-term acute care hospital. (They don't have wifi. That's why I'm late blogging. Sorry) The plan at this hospital is to wean him off of the trach. They will also do physical therapy, speech therapy, and occupational therapy. He is still being tube feed. The speech therapist is working on getting his swallowing back to an automatic motion. Right now, he has to think about swallowing before he swallows.
I will be going to Zachary's band camp concert tomorrow at Seaside, OR, then to Roseburg for the weekend. I feel better about being away from Bob for a short time now that he's out of OHSU. I already miss him terribly though; it's only been two hours. :-(
Life lesson: Life's too short. Evaluate what is important and give the rest to someone else to worry about.
Have a good weekend.
