Hi this is Sandy. Cathy has a beautiful room in the Devon hospital and is actually resting comfortably. Not to mislead you Cathy is not in any pain I thought she would be upset with being in the hospital this early. We keep assuring her that this is a temporary set back and once they find out what is wrong with the leg and get her going she will be back home but who knows. Cathy is thinking it might be better to stay in Devon rather then go to the Royal Alex as there are less flu germs and is much quieter. The nursing staff is fantastic and it is a beautiful facility. They still do not know why she has lost use of her left leg but hopefully they will get an MRI ordered on Thursday now that the holiday is over. She went in on Monday for an MRI but her back gets so painful if she has to lay flat on her back that they could not finish it. They rescheduled her for Tuesday and gave her some heavy drugs, transported her into Edmonton and there was a miscommunication somewhere and she did not have an appointment. They took her back to Devon and so far there has been no word as to when another MRI is booked.
Wanda came down with a terrible flu (doctors think it is H1N1 but they did not swab her) last Thursday so she has not been up to see Cathy for awhile but she is slowly getting better and will get back up there soon. Jennifer has come down with something now too and is home in bed since yesterday. We just keep praying that Cathy does not get it.
Thats all my news hope everyone in your household is healthy... love you all Sandy

Sandy - thanks for the update. Yes, the flu is rampant at the Alex, so Devon is probably a great idea. Is there a land line phone number to reach Cathy at the hospital or just her cell? I'd like to talk to her.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sandy for keeping us all informed about Cathy. That explains why Jennifer sounded like she did when I woke her up on Tuesday! There is much H1N1 at my work-like 15-20 people off in one program. I am afraid to bring Cathy new bugs. That's what she needs!! Not! Please hug her for me and tell her I'm thinking about her.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the update Sandy, Mom and Loppy said they had a great visit with Cathy and Aunty Theresa. I should have come with them but work is busy right now (Dam farmers want to sell all their calves). If you notice Wanda rooting around in the dirt and snorting then that confirms that she did in deed have the swine flu. Give hugs all a round and hope to see you soon.
