All Moved In

Yesterday, around 5PM, a nurse wheeled Suzanne down the hall and through the skywalk which connects her floor in the hospital to the NRH. The delay in the move was due to ongoing battles with pain, Staph and C-Diff, as the NRH is not equipped to handle patients with those ailments, who are still connected to the IV. Today marks the beginning of her intense physical therapy, to gain much needed upper body strength. It will be needed to transfer herself in and out of a chair and later as support with walking devices. But that will come later. We expect Sue to be at the NRH for about a month, before going home for further outpatient recovery.
