Thought I would take this opportunity to steal from my sister and cut and paste her writing into the blog...while you read, enjoy another favorite from John DENVER (are you noticing a theme)
WE ARE ONLY GOING FORWARD......
That is what Mom wrote on Dad's door in ICU a few weeks ago and that is what we are doing. Mom and Dad are off to Denver tomorrow morning to move forward with his recovery. The rep from Craig Hospital in Denver came to assess Dad yesterday and was very optimistic on the progress he would make there. She was certain that they can get him off the vent and start working on other things. I think that is what Mom needed to hear and I really think it made her feel better hearing it from someone from the outside. An private jet ambulance will take them to Denver and things will begin to move forward just like Mom wrote on the door!
It was a bittersweet night at the hospital tonight as we all went for our last dinner in the cafeteria. We all know this is what is best but I have to be honest and say it is going to really be hard not having them here with us. Even though they need to get out of that room they have been in for 6 long weeks they were still just 5 min. away. We have become very close to some of the nurses and it was hard to say goodbye to them and hold back the tears. We are already planning visits and are anxious to see more and more progress each time.
As Mom said as I hugged her goodbye this has made us that much closer and stronger and together we WILL move forward!
Thank you to everyone for all your prayers and good thoughts, keep them coming as we have a very long road ahead.
