Today was a good day. Ken had a full day of therapy and I got out to have lunch with wonderful friends and a gorgeous new baby girl, Rhea! I think the break was good for both of us. Ken was evaluated by the occupational therapist, speech pathologist and physical therapist. In just a day I can see the changes in his independence level. He is feeding himself with the exception of the cutting of the food. Tonight he operated the controls to raise and lower his bed so he can go to sleep. Hospitals have really become so user friendly in recent years. This place has a snack room with milk, juice, yogurt and Graham crackers (my favorite snack next to cheese) for Ken and family. They have free wireless access and are generally very accommodating to family members. The hospital administrator walks around the facility and introduces himself to family and patients. I feel really good about the facility as a whole. Ken is fortunate to have a nice roommate as well. Mr. Miller has been very accommodating. He has been at the hospital for two weeks and will be going home on Tuesday. I am not sure why he was here but he is a pleasure to talk to and I get him snacks from the vending machine when I go down. He is quite fond of snickers candy bars!
My focus for the next week is housing so if you know of anyone renting a ground floor condo in Maryland let me know. It could also be two story if there is a bedroom on the main floor.
Good night!
