Select Hospital told us last week they had gotten Jon off the respirator and that was their goal and so he needed to go to another facility...we thought the bedsore was another major issue but it seems that hospitals now have a "subacute" designation that evidently is one step above a nursing home and 2 steps below a regular hospital. (let me count the ways..regular hospital, long term acute care, long term subacute care and nursing home...)
Anyway, this place is very similar to Green Springs in that their major emphasis is on rehabilitation. He has a room mate again but like the last room mate he seems like a 60+ little guy. The last one was a Jordanian who ran a convenience store and was shot when the store was robbed. He had a bullet lodged somewhere in his back and they weren't sure they could remove it without causing other problems but we were glad to hear it was done successfully.
Oh yes? the name....Columbus Rehabilitation and Subacute Institute. Just send mail to sister Barb but if driving, and please do, come down Rt 315 to Broad and it's right across the street from the exit ramp. Can't get any easier than that. Moving days are extremely stressful for me. Several times now I have had to do most of the packing up and hauling it to the car. And then the ambulance never comes on time and the wait seems interminable.
I'm exhausted and off to bed. Please pray for more tolerance of pain on Jon's part and a renewed sense of wanting to "get the show on the road" to the best recovery possible. Thanks for checking in and again, my apologies for not attending to the blog.
PS For those of you keeping track of the bedsore it is now 6mm x 5mm x 2mm and although the wound guy said he saw new tissue growth he wasn't pleased with the progress either so maybe this new place will have a more powerful VAC or different methods to try.
