More progress to report.  Yesterday Melanie walked about 40 feet plus the distance in and out of the room.  Today, they took away the huge hose and nasal cannula and gave her a mask.  She walked close to 100 feet without stopping to rest.  This of course is with the aid of a walker and staff to support her if she should give out or fall. 

When she got back into her room they took the mask and gave her a standard nasal cannula and reduced the oxygen to a level less than what we were using prior to coming into the hospital.  Her oxygen saturation was equal to or higher than prior to coming in.  They are also removing the IV line in her bicep and we're going to go back to the smaller pump we were using with the medication being administered in the back as we were doing. 

We are still searching for someone who can manage her care and is within our insurance network.  If something can be found, she may be moved out of the hospital on Tuesday or Wednesday.

2.    The few who learn by observation.
3.    The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence and find out for themselves.    Will Rogers

Sunday Aug. 31

I stayed overnight with Melanie and awoke this morning to a very dark and dismal day.  That was the view outside as I opened the blinds.

Inside the room was exactly the opposite.  It's a gloriously bright day.  His Light is shining down.  Other than a few wires, tubes and bruises, Melanie is beginning to look like herself again.  She has been walking great distances 3 times a day.

We have been trying to find a facility that can take her for rehab, but there are few medical facilities, including hospitals, that are capable of administering her IV medication, or even can afford to provide it.

Good news is that she has progressed so well that they are now considering letting her come home instead of going to a Long Term Acute Care rehab facility.  This could happen within the next two or three days.  We will, instead, be returning to St. Joseph's for our twice weekly pulmonary/physical therapy, as we had done for so many years.  This is so much better for her than home health therapy because her time there is unlimited, they have a staff of physical therapists, and it's inside St. Joseph's Hospital should a medical problem arise.


He said to her, "Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from your suffering."
Mark 5:34

She's Home.  Released today.  No long term acute care facility.  We will re returning to St. Joseph's 2 or 3 times a week for therapy as we had done in the past.

Thursday Sept. 4

For the time being, we are trying to rest and get our strength back.  Running on adrenaline and caffeine can give you a big let down when you drop back from full throttle to idle speed.  We will be resting up for probably a week and trying to get a house back in order that was neglected for the past month.

Thank you all for your prayers.  I do believe that He heard and honored every one.
