Sorry for the lack of info; lots going on down here. Robert is still in Florida, but his relocation to Texas is imminent. Just waiting for some paperwork.
He is off the ventilator, and breathing better each day with the help of some oxygen. He is obviously in pain from his ribs and sternum, but they are managing that. He has been moved from ICU to a respiratory therapy room, and he may start physical therapy as soon as tomorrow, depending on the transfer to Texas. The trache tube has been removed, and he has something else in there--I ain't a Doc so I don't know what it is; speak tube or something like that-- but he can speak, although it is hard for him and taxes him to do it. He is very weak from laying around on his ass the last few weeks. (LOL). Debbie is doing as well as can be expected; She will have a great support group of Family once Bob gets to the Rehab hospital in New Braunfels. Just off the edge of Gruene for those familiar with the area. The Rehab Hospital is 20 minutes south of where Bob and Debbie live, and 20 minutes north of the town where Our Mother and I reside. Mom and I live 5 minutes apart, so we can easily get up there to help out. Debbie hopes to be home by Wednesday; she will spend Thanksgiving with Bob at the hospital; after Family Dinner we will make a very short controlled visit to see him that night. As I previously stated, he is very weak, and will need to gain some strength. Thanks again for your thoughts and prayers, and i will inform you as soon as he gets moved. Take care, Tom
