He fell sound asleep afterwards. I spoke with him later. When he woke up, I said, "Are you awake now?" (dah...) He said, "Yeah, am I supposed to be? I can't tell." (He's always being woken up by nurses taking BP or temps or whatever else, so he doesn't know if it's day or night.)
He is in room 108. It is right inside the front door. Finally, I won't need someone to take my wheelchair in and out of the car. His room is a short distance from the parking lot, which means, I can use my crutches and walk.
It seems he doesn't know names or colors. I'm making a book with pictures and names, and I have flashcards for colors and shapes. I woke up about 2am last night with an inspiration for the book design. (My brain never stops.) I think I'll try to get it published; publishing is a process that is a pain in the butt, but I'll try. The book will allow for personal pictures to be inserted, labels, and dry erase writing practice. It can be used by toddlers learning to read and write to adults with skills needing relearned.
Prayer from Pastor Daryl:
God of grace and glory, holy comforter, healing Spirit, we give you thanks for Bob’s continuing recovery and renewal. Continue to reach out and bring him healing through the hands of those who care for him. Radiate through his life with the light of your presence, that renewed health and strength may be his. Grant to him and those dear to him the continuing assurance of your steadfast love and mercy that they may know the peace that comes from you; through Christ our healer. Amen.
