Ok - technically, I think he is moving down floors, but I couldn't help but have the song from the Jefferson's in my head (which is better than the Amy Winehouse song about rehab I have been singing all day). So, he is still in Mercy Medical Center in Sioux City, but is now in the Rehab Center where there is a much more intense focus on his therapy.
He had his cat scan this morning, but the results are not known (we're going with the "no news is good news" theory). He finally got to eat solid foods - a chicken salad sandwich and was saying "mmm" as he ate it. The processed food must be pretty gross if a chicken salad sandwich from a hospital tastes good.
And it is good to hear that his sense of humor is still there - he was introducing Mom as his "current wife" to the rehab staff. The move does seem to have confused him today, but hopefully with some consistency and focus on rehabilitation in his new environment, we'll see improvements again.
Mom is headed back to the classroom tomorrow and our family friend Marian Andersen is there to help out this week. We are so thankful for all the family and friends that have helped us during this difficult time.
