7.8.08

Steve was rightfully upset yesterday morning because his call button was not put on him by a member of the staff, and so he had no way to contact the nurses station to let them know he needed his mouth suctioned. His call button is on a headband that allows him to be able to call the nurse by raising his eyebrow. It needs to be on him anytime that he is in the room alone.

A little longer and he'll be home. Steve's now going home on Monday, July 14, in order to allow a little more time for the house to be ready. So although not tomorrow, less than a week!

Today is Steve's graduation ceremony at Shepherd. They have a little ceremony in the gym for all patients before they leave the center. Steve's ceremony is at 2 PM today. Hopefully, some of his old nurses from ICU will be able to make it and maybe Lex too. Whoo HOOOO--Steve, you're almost home! Congrats on the graduation! Go on and soak up all the Lex-isms that you can before you go, it's not long now. I hope the next bunch of days FLY by. Love you! Have a great day!
