Settled in - Friday night

Dorothea is now settled in at the Select Hospital. She is doing well, she remained stable throughout the move.

The phone number to the hospital is 913-596-4000. She is in Rm 408. She is probably not able to talk on the phone yet. She will need some time to get used to the speaking valve, and to have enough energy to use it.

Tomorrow morning they will have someone take pictures of all of her wounds that she has coming in, and will have a wound specialist take a look at all of them. She heals so slowly... but she is healing.

Harold filled the nurses in on all of the details with Dorothea and made sure to come to a compromise in regards to her insulin. I expect that there will be a few days of "transition" as the nursing staff learns how sensitive she is to medications, and how brittle her diabetes is. It feels so good to know that she has improved enough to move on to the next step.
