Linda will be promoted to Select Specialty Hospital, on the 6th floor, at St. Vincent tomorrow, where she will have nursing care and the potential for therapy, but the emphasis is on wound care and healing, projected to take about three weeks. Afterwards, she'll either be ready for home (with physical therapists and occupational therapists making house calls) or transfer to a live-in rehab. center.
We are hoping to bring Casey to St. Vincent so they can see each other briefly as they transfer from the ambulance into her new residence. Casey will finally know where Linda is! We hope to get a photograph.
She still has the lung tube, and they say they will Xray the lungs/ribs area early tomorrow morning before transporting her to St. Vincent. She will also have daily changing of her skin graft dressing at the new place. Today, they fitted her with a special removable splint to replace the need to recast her left arm daily with each dressing change. No more metal staples are in her skin graft--they were so painful to remove.
The skin graft team remarked that they were amazed at how much better her elbow is healing. Great progress, great relief! Glad they won't have to try again and that it is taking well.
