Tomorrow is the big day! Ernie will be discharged after 10 very long days in the hospital. We have all of our supplies and equipment, except for the humidifier that will be delivered and set up at the house tomorrow. We will also receive home health care visits for a few days to make sure we are comfortable with all of our new duties.
The only thing we are missing is the Passy-Muir speaking valve. Evidently, they did not think Ernie was ready today and the speech department doesn't work on Saturday so we will have to go to the doctor's office on Monday to get that. Until then, we will continue to communicate with a mixture of sign language and writing.
Many folks have inquired about visiting. When Ernie gets used to his speaking valve, he will be anxious to talk up a storm. Until then, he welcomes your text messages (336407-3800), emails to fackelmn@ix.netcom.com or good, old-fashioned snail mail.
