Saw Glen last night. Dr. Misselback walked in and told us that Glen is probably going to be moved to the Quentin Mease General Hospital("QM)next week sometime. Most probably Wednesday or Thursday.
He is back off of the ventilator and looking very good. He has the purple cap on his trach which is almost like having no trach at all. Dr. says that if he can maintain with the cap for several days, he may remove the whole trach. Keep your fingers crossed for him. Last weekend he was unable to still clear his secretions and his O2 level dropped and that is why they put him back on the respirator. Doing good this week so far.
Dr. M said that the infectious disease doctor still has to give Glen a clean bill of health before he can go over to QM and that there has been some concern that Glen may still be too ill to fully participate in his rehab. But Dr. M says he is not contagious, he is able to do rehab and although he'd like to keep Glen at Ben Taub so he can follow him personally, he really needs more rehab than the Ben Taub people can give him.
So - very good news guys - we are on the move. I will post again when I know when and what room Glen will be in at Quentin Mease. The address is 3601 North MacGregor Way. That is EAST of 288. If you go 288, you would go EAST on North MacGregor way a couple of miles I think. The visiting hours at 10 a.m. - 9 p.m. The phone number is (713) 873-3700. Remember - he's not there yet, but this is hopefully where he will be mid-week.
