It's been very trying
Yesterday Monroe was transferred to the skilled nursing facility , close to our home in Fairfield
to get Rehabilitation in Speech, Walking, and swallowing
he became very distrustful, didn't want anyone to touch him and said he wanted to leave
Tina was an absolute trouper
she was there from 10:30 AM until after 4
I left work early and we went back together at 5 and stayed til 7, then we ate dinner and returned at 9 to check on him
By that time i had talked to him and they had sedated him and he was sleeping
This morning I arrived at 7:15 AM and unfortunately he had pulled out his feeding tube
though he was more awake and seemed to understand what was going on for the most part
There was a lot of back and forth about whether to reinsert the tube
Of course we said yes, as he is still unable to swallow safely and effectively
So, Tina will go and sit with the nurses as they attempt to reinsert it
Both of us had a long talk with the speech therapist this morning,who seems to be on the same page for optimism as we are
Keep praying!!!
God is GOOD
