Hello everyone,
Ponoka stampede starts today so town is busy and trailers and rodeo people are everywhere.
Up date from the weekend Chris had a coughing spell on the weekend and some how got a hold of his feeding tube and pulled it out 6 inches. The tube was reinserted and liquids were pumped in to re-hydrate him then food started on Tuesday. The tube was on its last legs anyway and was due for replacement the not so good part was the fact that he may have got Pneumonia from aspiration due to the tube coming dislodged, he is being treated for the pneumonia and well on his way to recovering.
Today I accompanied him to Red Dear regional where the staff although they lost all the paper work and didn't know who he was and had no record of him coming, they did rectify the situation after an hour or so and we went ahead and had the tube replaced by early afternoon. It was an early start 5am from Edmonton to Ponoka and what was a 7am departure by ambulance turned into 740am departure and things just moved along slowly all day. Staff at the hospital were good and very helpful (even if they had no idea he was coming).
Our return to Ponoka just in time to get late lunch and early dinner and Chris slept for most of the afternoon combination of drugs given at the hospital and all the travel involved in today's ventures. I left him sound asleep at 8 Pm this evening. Pool sessions have not been able to go ahead and I just learned that the pool will be closed for 2 weeks starting July 1st for maintenance, so no water until mid July AAAAHHHHGGG.
Good time now for anybody that was or is going to visit fairly quiet at the hospital and the weather has been great.
Up date with more tomorrow.
Kevin
