Lots of visitors today. Vickie probably wondered what was happening this morning when half the family showed up in her room, waiting for the afore mentioned meeting to start.
One item discussed during the meeting concerned the trach and how soon it might be removed. The infection must be cleared up first and Vickie needs to have control of her ability to swallow. We are close but not quite there yet. She's a long ways from transferring to rehab at the hospital.
Some issues about staff attitudes and procedures were also debated and noted by the supervisors.
The financial aspects of the situation are becoming more important since the insurance coverage will end next week and Vickie's stay at Rest Harbor becomes self paid. The therapy will continue to be covered, so that's some consolation for us.
