Settled in

Pete's been busy this morning.   Physio has him walking the hallways already (not an easy task)  and if that isn't enough, Ena and I couldn't wait to wash his hair.

The nurse thankfully removed the feeding tube from Pete's nose and now he can enjoy eating once again.

Ena's time here is over all to quickly and this evening she is on her way back to BC.  We had a wonderful time "sister bonding".  Thanks Ena for keeping me company and for giving Pete some nursing care :)  We even managed to get a Costco trip in!

7.00 pm
Finally Pete is in the ward where he belongs and will get the specialized care that he needs.

He is in the University of Alberta Hospital, "inpatient transplant unit" - 3G2-24 #1.  This is the same room he was in when we first came in.

The amazing thing is that sharing the room with Pete is another fellow transplant patient Al and his wife Cheryl, whom we met in the gym back in May of 2014.  Also in the ICU along with Pete was another person from our group, Ron who just received a lung transplant too.  Quite the re-union!

Pete feels really good and feeling very grateful.

All praise, honour and glory to God Alone.

  3. Exciting news to read that Pete is making steady progress, and that he is with good company. I think he will settle in nicely.....home away from home. Wonderful blessings from our Heavenly Father. Wyn and Danny.
