Current Events

It has been awhile since I've written. I am usually too tired to think at the end of the day. I've met with a few successes at school lately. After many sessions of trying to teach fractions, percents and decimals I've actually seen some improvements. Even a few students saying ,"Oh, I think I get it!" Tomorrow they may have forgotten it all but there for a little while today they could change a fraction to a decimal and a decimal to a percent. That's a great breakthrough.

Doc has been moved from one room , which was private, to another room which is double. It was quite an ordeal, he does not want a room mate!! He fought like a tiger but had to give up when they pushed him in his wheel chair down the hall and put him in his new room. For the time being, he does not have a roomie but I'm sure that won't be for long. He is very contented in the room now because it is quieter and brighter. Today he referred to his old room as that gloomy room.

He has had MRSA infection and they got rid of that but then he got seudonomos and had to take a full round of antibiotics for that and supposedly it was cleared up but as of now they are waiting for the results of another culture to see what kind of new infection he has. The culture is due back tomorrow.

Mike called a little while ago and said he was in the process of moving Jane again. She is being released from Jewish and moving to Frazier Rehab. They are hoping the next move is home. He said her spirits are good and she is walking a little now on her own but mostly uses the walker. She can eat and drink regular food and does not have to have the oxygen often. It has been 8 days since she has had to have dialysis. Things are looking good!

Ciao and Shalom PS.I'm looking forward to Thanksgiving.
