Well Thursday was another stressful day as we were still in Hollywood, Fl. to start the day at Arianne and Errol's. They have been so gracious to allow us to camp there the past several weeks after leaving the hotel which was eating us up in costs. It's quite a distance from the hospital but since the staff hasn't allowed anyone to spend the night with GG its been a blessing in disguise. Everyone gets some rest and sleep albeit there are constant complaints about everything from a few, anyhow we headed to the hospital after packing up everything as we wanted to go back to our homes for the weekend and give them some time together before he leaves on Monday for 2 weeks.
The trip down to the hospital was another traffic jammed roadway. I have learned there are certain areas no matter what time of the day the traffic comes to standstill in the 6 lanes. The gals didn't want me to park in a certain garage they felt was less than safe so we tried a new one and it put us further away from the West Wing of the hospital after getting the wrong coordinates for the GPS, anyhow it was a much nicer garage and the gals while complaining of the extra walk were some what comforted.
GG was sitting up in a chair and considering had some color. The tubes were out of her mouth and we learned by the time we left some where around 2'ish many of the other tubes were out as well. I think she is going to recover from this ordeal and hopefully get to some skilled nursing facility and rehab. She is much cared and loved by the staff at the hospital as we have got to know many by first name who look out for GG. She was a little disconcerted by us leaving for a few days and some of the conflicts within the family as one of us constantly makes their feelings known about the distrust of another family member which has caused a lot of stress for all of us. I must say some of the distrust is founded but that could be handled in a different way as we all are under a lot of duress especially being away from our homes and the fact that traffic is a nightmare of which I have to drive in while everyone else sleeps in the truck.
Well it was just before dark when we finally got home and I dropped Betsy off at her mom's place to await Gus. That was a relief and that's all I can say and still be family. Nancy has finally learned the new cell phone operation and that has helped as well as she constantly is informing the family and friends on GG's condition as well as unlimited texts, LATER
