Aloha from Calgary
I am finally home after a long day at the hospital. I arrived this morning, dashed to Gord's room, threw back the curtain and said "Hi Honey, I'm here!" and guess what ....the guy in the bed wasn't Gord! Of course my first thought was OH NO! I rushed to the nursing station to be told he had been moved because they needed the room and he was across the hall in Unit 111. That was a jolt of adrenaline I did not need!
The good news is, he has less monitors stuck to his body and is in the next step to the rehabilitation ward. His new room views onto the helipad so I am hoping he will see some action from his window. He is still sleeping a lot and on the weekend he will not have physiotherapy but on Monday they will start again and add Occupational Therapy as well. We still don't know what Gord is understanding at this point. He certainly recognizes people it seems and smiles quite a lot. I am feeling better about things today.
Thanks again for your prayers.
Love
Sheila
Sheila, Gord and Family,
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful way to keep people informed! Over the years we have looked forward to catching up with Gord each summer at our cabin up at Sylvan Lake. He often pops in after whizzing by on his quad or in his convertible. Since we heard the news you have been in our thoughts every day and we are wishing you all strength and patience for the journey ahead. As many have mentioned, Gord is a fighter, and we hope this summer we will get to see him 'whizzing' by once again.
