Hmmmmm....
Today I took Cairo to see Melissa after I visited a playground site in Staten Island. M was doing the construction management on 32R “the Swamp”. I would have to say that after visiting both the site and Melissa, well there is much work to do. Today was a bad day after a very bad night; in short she pulled her trach out and they had to fix that. Not good. She did absolutely nothing with the Speech Therapist today even though she came by twice. AND she has an aide posted in her room 24 hours to make sure she doesn’t mess things up again to try to escape. Sorry for the less than stellar news, but it is the truth. Things can change tomorrow as this collaboration grows. So we have that to look forward to.
One good piece of news, they felt like she is making enough progress and there is talk about moving her the “physical therapy boot camp”. So there are 3 facilities that will reach out to me. If Melissa doesn’t do the “two-step” for the next couple of days, then I think she will be good to move to the next level.
I won’t lie to you, this is very frustrating. Try to communicate with someone who cannot talk, writes in another language and is confused half the time. Oh but am I talking about myself again. HAH, Melissa and I have a real special connection. Mostly smoke signals and hand signals. But it works. I might be team captain, but she is the star player on the “I L”.
Can you figure out what she is writing. I can see below her name and mine.
Who’s Boddlery? HAH
Anyway, this is a real cliff-hanger for the home team. Stay tuned. Same Bat Station, Same Bat Channel.
*Gray skies are gonna clear up! Put on a happy face. Brush off the clouds and cheer up....
**Signed up for the NJ Gran Fondo Sept. 8th in place of our trip to Tuscany. Melissa will be on my mind and in my heart.
