Let the rehab begin!
No offense to anyone, but I really don't feel like writing tonight. It has been a long week and I need to go to bed (and I started late).
Gretchen was in a chair when I arrived at the hospital at 7:30 this morning. The TV was on (grrrrr...) to one of the morning fluff shows and there was some guy in gym shorts with electrodes all over his body flexing his muscles to play a drum set by remote control...this is news? Oh, wait, its the morning fluff. I turned off the TV, started a CD in my computer (Cecilia Bartoli again), and sat down next to Gretchen. She wasn't very talkative (it was 7:30 AM) so I talked a bit and we listened a bit.
While I was there the doctor came in and we talked about Gretchen and then we talked about music (he was going to be a violinist until he realized he might not be good enough to do more than eek out a living). We talked about her reaction to latex and how it might have caused her fever. He ended by saying that if she stayed in Erlanger he looked forward to discussing music with her.
Not long after I arrived at work I started getting calls about her moving to Siskin and before lunch they told me it would be around 3:00. I got there around 4:00 (same as yesterday) and they were just starting to move her.
Siskin is quiet at 4:00. Erlanger is never quiet. It will be good for Gretchen to have peace for a bit.
Rehab for Gretchen begins tomorrow morning. She will get 3 hours of rehab per day. I hope they wake her with plenty of time to get her brain in gear. Continue to pray for he strength and alertness.
And now to bed!
