Road trip!

Day 22

That is how we have told Papa that he is being transferred to a new hospital. Yep, for those of you who didn't know, Papa was transferred from Utah Valley Regional Hospital to the Utah Valley Specialty Hospital , which is basically a long-term ICU hospital. We don't know how long we expect to be there, but definitely for....a time. 

As we were trying to convey to Papa that his surroundings were going to change, we found that it was easier just to say that we'd go on a road trip. Which he did remember from time to time. Papa did great riding in the ambulance over to the new place, and he had a lot of fun adjusting to his new room.... he couldn't keep his hands off of the new tubes, cords, and....stuff.
Yep, he popped the ventilator off the trach and was VERY surprised to find it in his hand.
He quickly tried to put it back on.
In the meantime, we found just how responsive the team at UVSH is. They. Are. Good.
All is well.

So, for those of you who would like to visit,
technically the visiting hours are between 9 am and 9 pm.
We would like for Papa get good healing sleep so maybe before 8 pm?
The address is as follows:
Mike Baer

Utah Valley Specialty Hospital
Room #251
