Today John got his nasogastric (NG) tube today. I talked to him on the phone mid-afternoon and he did not like it. I called his nurse around 7 p.m. to see how he was doing with it and have the nurse remind him to watch the Penguins game. His nurse said he was doing well with it and receiving his first feeding. He also had an echocardiogram and chemical stress test today. I believe that completes all the tests needed for his transplant evaluation. I think they will present his case next week. Praying for approval!
Friday morning he'll be released to Golden Hill nursing home . He needs skilled care until he gets his strength back. He'll receive physical and occupational therapy while there. Going to bring him his clothes and shoes tomorrow. I know he'll be glad to get out of there, but is not too keen on going to the nursing home. I just hope he starts feeling better soon!
I'm trying to make plans to head back to Florida in a couple of weeks. Don't know if I'm going back for a few days or a few weeks. It'll depend on what the transplant team decides.
