Next phase

Well Dad is finally out of ICU. Eleven days, wow. He is in a private room with a great view. OHSU, floor 10K room 6. He currently still needs a sitter so he is sharing one with neighbor. Unfortunately he is more confused today. He is struggling to find words and says jumble words and words that are off topic. This is making it harder for us to communicate with him to help him understand what is happening and for him to tell us what he needs or wants. Hopefully this is a temporary state of healing. He is not restrained when there is someone in the room but needs lots of prompts to remain in bed or in his chair. Lots of "WHY". Lots of talk about insurance, fire insurance, burn insurance and some jumbled words we can't get. Maybe he is thinking about when he was working? Direct room number is 503-418-8306. If we are in the room we will answer for him. Continue to send positive energy and thoughts his way for good healing.
