Sam just told me that Ron was moved to the rehab hospital in Billings on Friday. It was a very long day because the ambulance got diverted first to Great Falls and then had to be cleaned before picking up Ron. They finally arrived in Billings at 5:30 p.m. and everyone was tired. She did get a chance to talk with the primary doctor who will head up his team. It was shift change so she didn't get to meet most of the team who had gone for the weekend. They'll be doing more tests and probably won't have him fully evaluated until mid-week. Once evaluated Ron could be there for one week or four weeks or who knows. Their goal will be to get him to a point where he'll be able to take care of himself as soon as possible so he can go home.
Meanwhile, Ron is settling into his new digs. He keeps telling Sam to bring him his own bed. Guess he doesn't like theirs. He's taken to a solarium-type room for meals where he sits up to eat. Apparently little Adele has a real hold over her grandpa. The nurses grind his meds and put them in something like pudding. While they were there he didn't want the last bite so Adele told him to open his mouth and take his medicine. And he did! Guess now we know how to maneuver him into doing things!
Steve and family left today. They got some things done to help Sam, including mowing the grass. Their friends in Lewistown are there to help her so that's good. Sam said to tell everyone she's not doing email - just no time right now - and she also asked me to thank everyone. She really appreciates the moral support. At this point it's one day at a time.
