Good News! Ros' white blood cell count has gone down and, correspondingly, the aggressive behavior has disappeared. We are all relieved for now. Because he is recovering well, Ros is being transferred today to Senior Adult Unit at Addison Gilbert in Gloucester MA for a short term stay. Mentally, he has resumed his short term forgetfulness but he is as sweet as ever, cooperative and interested in others.
Ted and I are very happy about this transfer as the geriatric support is excellent and Ros will be getting great care physically and mentally. We have posted on the wall of his hospital room that his job is to EAT, DRINK, SLEEP and GET STRONGER. He is doing well.
Right now, he is eating a peanut butter butter sandwich (yech!) and drinking a chocolate mealshake. He had a great idea to sip the broth with a straw from the bowl of chicken soup because it was too full. That's a good sign that Ros is on the mend.....
Send photos of your family or email them and we'll print them out for him.
