Well, prayers are being answered, and yours are appreciated so much. Please continue to keep Bruce on your prayer lists. The new hospital is going to be so good for him (and Tammy). She reported the following things, via text messages to me, throughout the day, yesterday (their first day there)....
- the day nurse was in three times before noon
- the physical therapy TEAM of three sees him twice a day
- there is a chair that the nurses can put Bruce in once a day
- they are using his hearing aids during therapy (they didn't want to mess with them in GA)
- he has had speech therapy already
- he has had occupational therapy already
- the doctor suggested a book by Jill Taylor that I already gave Tammy, thanks to my friend, Karen's suggestion; the doctor has been to two of Jill Taylor's lectures
- the doctor chatted with Tammy for quite awhile last night (the one in GA barely said hello)
- Tammy has a comfortable chair that folds out to a single bed
- I asked about a pillow (the other hospital wouldn't give her one) and she said they gave her a pillow, sheets, a blanket and towels and washcloths!!
- I asked about meals and she said they are "big" and delicious and very inexpensive
- they are in a room that has a camera, so even while Tammy sleeps, they can be watching Bruce
- the CEO of the hospital is from Bruce & Tammy's town - amazing!!
Of course, his brain has to start making the connections again, so prayers are for those connections, now that he is in a place that can help make it all happen.
Some other happy and thankful news is that my cousins are making reservations for the beach vacation in July! I heard from two more today!! I am so excited for this summer family reunion!!
I have a human resources workshop this morning, 7:30 - 1:30, and will be participating in three different sections, out of nine. I hope I picked the right three (and that they won't put me to sleep!).
Thanks again for your prayers and positive thoughts, for Bruce & Tammy. SO much appreciated! Have a good Friday Eve!! Peace & blessings!
That, my friend, is good news all the way around. Will keep Tammy & Bruce in prayer. Have a great Thursday...and how blessed you are to have a good sister relationship. Blessings
ReplyDeleteWow - that is wonderful news! All those things have to make Tammy feel more at peace.
ReplyDeleteThat's great news about Bruce and the hospital!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your workshops. Have a great day!
God does hear and answer prayers. PTL...Bruce is now in the right place. Thanks for sharing the update. Hope your sessions are helpful today. More and more adding to the reunion! That's great.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like he is right where he needs to be to get the help he needs.
ReplyDeleteI know how relieved everyone must be that Bruce is being taken such good care of. You and the rest of your family are going to have a great holiday in July I bet. Hope your workshop was interesting and useful.
ReplyDeleteWow, this almost brings tears to my eyes, because I know how good it is to have reason to HOPE!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, this is SUCH an improvement. So glad to hear of it, and prayers for Bruce and Tammy (and all of you) are continued. So thankful to see a light coming into that otherwise bleak picture. Blessings.
ReplyDeleteI'm SO happy to hear of SO MANY improvements concerning the care of your BIL, and the comfort of your sister :)
ReplyDeleteWow, I've been gone for a week and am just catching up....so pleasantly surprised from the news about Bruce's magnificent progress. So happy for him and Tammy and you, too. Yay!
