The staff at the hospital were great. And even though Pattie and Ted had planned at going to Rehab at some place in Richardson which would be closer to our Plano hotel; we soon learned that the Baylor Institute for Rehabilitation (BIR) was as fantastic a place with caring staff as the Baylor Hospital was.
So... on to BIR. Even though it is nearly an hour away in downtown Dallas. Ted and Maggie Rose will look at possibly finding another hotel near by.
The move.
Pattie was medically transferred by ambulance today (Thursday) about 3:00 pm. After meeting with the admissions staff, her nurse and her doctor; Pattie settled into her semi-private room and had a good dinner.
Because the doctor thinks Pattie will likely be at BIR for 10-14 days, we put Pattie on the waiting list for a private room. But starting tomorrow morning... Pattie will be good to go for hours of occupational therapy each day.
(Doesn't THAT sound like fun?)
Ted's cell phone is (210) 316-1594. I know I'm not blogging every day - and I'm not blogging enough with more details of our day to day experiences - so feel free to call me anytime you want.
Occasionally I can't take a call if I'm with Pattie if we are in the middle of some procedure, but I'll be glad to call you back.
Very Important!!!
Pattie and Ted want you to know how much we love and appreciate your thoughts and prayers. The doctors don't know but they hope - and we hope - that within 3 - 6 months, Pattie will be completely pain free with her back and will be walking as well as before.
I am so glad to hear from you. I am glad you are in rehab and doing well. I love you, Eddy Lou
