Monday March 31
10:30 AM Bill was fresh & clean upon my arrival. Physical therapy had already been there and had him sit up on the side of the bed for a while. I have not seen him sit up alone ...just with large seat belts in the Ortho chair. He look great ! He is sleeping now ...they wore him out.

He got a soft bed cushion today....that seems to have relieved the pain in the butt area and back in general.

Dr. Jackson- Pulminary says the lungs sound OK. Yea Bill !

Assessment to be done today to decide where he goes from here.

New PIC line put in today since Bill pulled it out on Sunday night. That is a line into his heart in the event they need to give RX's in a hurry.

Babes came to visit today and Bill wrote to him about our neighbor Ralph and Faux Greaux. Ralph came over to help March 12 until the ambulance arrived. I guess that is why Ralph makes the notes the most. Bill asked Babes to bring COKE.

Dr. Eiserwirth came by to check on Bill. He says Bill is doing very well. Dr was wearing a red carnation on his lapel. He said it was doctor day. Bill wrote Dr Persich is #1, Dr Eiserwirth is #2 and Dr Murray is #3. Dr Murray is Bill's cousin and they all have a standing joke about who is really Bill's favorite.

ICU pulmonary tech came in to check and clean TRAC. Said hey man I remember you from ICU. I said you have a great memory. He said I don't really remember him...but I remember the ball......we threw it around in ICU.

7:30 PM I am tired and am leaving now....just as I pick up my back. Dr. Johnston comes in the door. I put the bag down...await an update. He says Bill is doing very well and they have decided to try him in some therapy. So he will be moving again. Good news is every move is a move up in the right direction. Good Bill keep up the hard work !
