Grandma H is doing better after the three procedures she had this week for her blood clots. She does not have trouble breathing like she did and she is able to stand without too much pain. Therefore, the nurse said that we need to look at rehab facilities because that is where the doctor will send her next. She will need to work to get her strength back.
After leaving the hospital, we toured four places. Collin judge them and gave us feedback based on the amount of animals they had. He really liked the one place that had a large fish aquarium. He liked this one because he could wipe down the inside of the tank with a magnetic brush. This place also had birds in a floor-to-ceiling bird cage.
One facility had the dining room out in the open and in the front of the building. We could see it when we walked in. After touring one hall and then walking back to the front, Collin said that he liked this place and thought Grandma H would because there were lots of people there for her to make new friends. That was very thoughtful of him and I said that we would keep that in mind. We did like the place also. It was currently #2 on our list.
Collin did great for touring four facilities in 3 hours. Thank goodness for games on the phone which kept him occupied while we waited at each facility for someone to show us around.
The next step is to call the hospital with our list of facilities we like and then wait for the doctor to discharge her. We expect that she will get out mid-week unless something else happens.
