\"\"<\/a>A quick update on my father’s surgery (cervical discectomy and fusion) this evening.\u00a0 They started around 19:00 CDT, finished two hours or so later, and he’s in anesthesia recovery now waiting to transfer to the ICU (no free rooms in the step down unit).\u00a0 I talked to him for 20 minutes or so before heading home for the night.\u00a0 He can’t feel his right leg anymore, but hopefully that comes back in a few days.\u00a0 I’m glad he’s stable and they’re keeping an eye on him overnight –\u00a0 the day begins again, 0800 tomorrow, at RIOSA (my mom will go hang out with my dad at Methodist).<\/p>\n

It’s surreal, shuffling back and forth between TWO hospitals in one night for TWO immediate family members.<\/p>\n

One year ago tonight, Chris was in the emergency room at San Antonio’s University Hospital having a hole drilled in his skull after the accident.\u00a0 A year later, our dad would be having his spine worked on from an injury sustained while transferring Chris into a standing frame at Texas NeuroRehab.<\/p>\n

<\/strong>Ahh, and I almost forgot – Chris’s latest test for E. Coli<\/em> now indicates new contamination of A. Baumanii<\/em><\/strong>, so we’re back in full isolation again at RIOSA and cannot leave the room.\u00a0 We only had one more test to clear Chris of everything<\/em>, and now we’re back to square one with this recurrence of A. Baumanii<\/em>.\u00a0 Bollocks.<\/p>\n

Update:<\/strong><\/em> A bit of good news:\u00a0 my dad is now at RIOSA, too (makes it a lot easier than the two hospital thing).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
