November 25 - early

Still have not gotten a progress report on Granny from the Rehab center. Apparently I have to make an appointment with the administrative nurse to stay late in order to meet with me. Due to the holiday week, there are fewer people available to discuss things with. The evening nurse did say she would leave them a note to call me today, however, after work I will be at the airport picking up Barbara so can't meet with them in person. Barbara is coming to help me this weekend--I'm hoping she'll do some cooking!

Last night the evening nurse said she didn't like the way Granny's lungs were sounding--she has developed a very bad cough and although she is still recovering her voice after the respirator, it has turned very deep and raspy. They had blood work & an xray done last night--negative for pneumonia. SO...still don't know why she's developed this--may be a bronchitis or sinus infection-type issue. Hopefully it will not prevent Granny from coming home during the daytime over the holiday & weekend. It has gotten much colder after a front came through yesterday, and nobody wants Granny to get exposed to chills.

Will be seeing Granny with Barbara much later tonight and hopefully we can have a Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow at home together. Hope everyone else has a Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. I hope Granny is feeling well enough to enjoy it.

Still no news on our end.
