Dad at Kernan

Dad was moved to Kernan today at 5pm. Mom and I went to visit around 7pm. We found his dinner (fish, potatoes, broccoli) and helped him eat it. He didn't seem to want to move his arms. The engineers at his work signed a card for him. Dad took the time to read all the notes and signatures. The staff was very helpful in getting us oriented, and Dr. Harrison came by to check on him. Tomorrow, Dad will be meeting with various team members (occupational therapy for his upper body, physical therapy, speech/swallowing therapy), and they will assess how long he will need to be at Kernan.

There is still in iv line in Dad's right bicep that flushes well. He is still on his anti-seizure medication. Dad was watching a wrestling match when we left, although I turned on the TV and chose the channel for him.

William wasn't able to come today because this morning he had all his wisdom teeth extracted. I made an ice pack holder for his head with a sun visor, Mom's socks, safety pins, and a scarf. Maybe I should patent it. Honestly, as I was tying the scarf, I couldn't keep a straight face, but it worked really well.

As I was waiting for William in the dentist's office, I read Rolling Stone's article on Adam Lambert from American Idol and Secretary of Energy and Nobel Prize winner Steven Chu. I have a lot more respect for Rolling Stone for its diverse coverage. It also makes me wonder if Dr. Chu really thinks that the human race is in peril.
