Mooovin on Up

What's that you say? Jeff is moving up to the 5th floor?! Well, I'll be damned. His good spirits are lifting him - literally. This morning they were just waiting on a room to open up, but very soon Jeff will be out of ICU and comfy on the 5th floor. Talk about comfy - Amanda will actually have a bed to sleep on in the new room. No more trying to get shut-eye on a couple of lumpy chairs.

Damn, Gina.

Things are moving so fast. They expect to remove the trach in 1-2 days. Jeff is an eating machine - real food! He can talk all the time now, so you all know how that goes. Blab, Blab, blab.

BJ, my hubby, got to visit last night and they had a grand old time. Rod, the resp. therapist brought in his ukelele and they had a sing-a-long.

The rehab facility reps came by to meet Jeff and Amanda and Andrew were headed over for a site tour at 2pm PST today. That's 5pm for you Michigan folks. Should I compare the temps, too? Just kidding, just kidding.

I hope tomorrow to tell you that Jeff saw the outdoors today and is all settled in his new digs. All limbs crossed.

  5. What awesome news! Glad to hear Jeff is back to talking all the time. And boy do I remember how he can talk... there was never a lull in the conversation when he was around at Delphi. Keep up the great work Jeff! We're continuing to pull for you!
