Up to the 6th Floor, Talking about rehab

Hey everyone. Bob has moved up to the 6th floor, which is very good news.  He has been in the ICU since last Wednesday so it will be nice to actually get to sleep for hour blocks at a time.  They are hopeing he will get to leave soon and go to St. Luke's rehab. He has been getting in the chair for all his meals, and has been eating good. The main concerns now are his lungs, he has doing ok, but there's always a concern for that when you've been in the bed for 16 days.  All the docs are amazed and  are happy he's made it through all of  this. There is a new sore on his leg, so they are a little concerned with that.  Praise God though, this has been a long jouney, but hes coming through good.  He remains mentally clear. Last night he had a good talk about rolla roasters with his night nurse he gave her a set of purple ones.  Right now Colleen and Larry are here, and Carl and Helen friends from Clarkston came by, I may be catching a ride back to Orofino tomorrow with them.  Then coming back up on Friday so mom can take a break.  Mom and I kinda need a break from each other.  Keep on praying though, so far his recovery has been good. He is still pretty weak in his legs, but he did eat with his own arm today for a little bit so he is getting stronger.  Love you all, Aloha!

    Hi Bob and all! What wonderful news to hear of your steady progress! We have continued to pray and will keep on doing that until you are up and OUTTA THERE! You may have a bird's eye view of the Bloomsday runners on Sunday if you are still on the 6th floor! If you are up for it, have them wheel you down to the waiting area and look north.

    Sounds wonderful Katelyn! Thank you ever so much for keeping us so well informed. Praise God for all of the miracles (both visible and hidden) we have been witnessing. Your love and devotion to your family and to God is so strong, and I thank God for all you have been doing. Take good care of yourself, Angel.

    In Christ's love,
    Donna

    Such good news! We will keep the prayers going, but are so! very thankful for all the ones that have been answered.

    I travel that direction every Sunday afternoon or evening and back this way every Tuesday evening or Wednesday morning. If I could help you with going back and forth in any way (even on another day - driving is my life :) after all) please let us know. The best way to contact us is probably on Josi's cell phone (208.553.8800) or my email (mcconnell@orofino-id.com).
    Doing a little 6th floor jig tonight,
    Laura and Josi
