. . . the time frame for holiday music as there are just 10 days to go.\u00a0\u00a0 Yakima\u2019s First Presbyterian Church is a block from the hospital and their Carillon Bell Tower (or a loudspeaker with recorded sound) provides a nice touch for a minute as I arrive or leave.\u00a0 Nancy would enjoy this but the only outside sound to enter her room is from the helipad on the top of the next building.\u00a0 Anyway, it was a snowy-wet day in Yakima but warm enough that I could pause and listen for a few moments.\u00a0 Nice touch.<\/p>\n
At about 2 A.M., Nancy woke from a dream (or not quite woke) and decided she had the wrong clothes on for whatever it was she thought she was doing.\u00a0 She claims to have just about gotten out of bed and was removing the sensor-sending units stuck to her body which triggered the arrival of the night crew.\u00a0 When I arrived at Noon those folks were long gone and I don\u2019t know what, if anything, got recorded regarding the incident.\u00a0 Maybe there wasn\u2019t an incident.\u00a0 Nancy says so, and had on a new clean open backed hospital gown provided after the sensors units were restored.\u00a0 Her story and she\u2019s sticking to it.<\/p>\n
The team of doctors is scheduled to meet on Thursday of this week to decide if she is ready to transition to a skilled care facility. One of the team visited with her mid-afternoon. If this means a few tests on Wednesday they haven\u2019t informed her as of 6 PM.\u00a0 They may be getting what they need from the on-body sensors.\u00a0 This is yet another mystery to the uninitiated.\u00a0 In her two day stay in this unit Fri\/Sat after Thanksgiving they wheeled equipment into the room and did a chest X-ray and an echocardiogram; maybe more.\u00a0 So, I think such may be done now either in-room or elsewhere.<\/p>\n
I got a list of the local skilled care facilities from the Social Services person.\u00a0 I used Google Earth to locate them and in addition to \u201cwhere they are\u201d I could get a sense of the neighborhood.\u00a0 One is directly across the street from Yakima\u2019s largest high school.\u00a0 Another is just off a main street in a neighborhood one would not consider idyllic or serene.\u00a0 They all come highly recommended (tight regulation and control here in WA State) so location and ambiance can be considered.\u00a0 We are wondering if such places have high-speed internet connections.\u00a0 A question for tomorrow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
