GF Strong

Today John left VGH for the first time in over two months. He was transferred to GF Strong Hospital in the morning. By 3pm many members of his new care team had come to introduce themselves and help him understand how they fit into his care plan. After he was set up in bed had had measurements taken for the wheelchair for him there. It takes 4 hours to set up a chair for him and since the hospital just had 3 new admissions he doesn't expect a chair until at least tomorrow. Just after they set him up with a call bell the assistive technology people came by and set up his TV so he could control it using "sip and puff". Sip and puff is done into a special 'straw' and is how he can control his environment, turn off lights, use the phone etc., as well as drive his wheelchair. Please pray for John as I (Laverne) am back in PR for a few days. Also pray for his adjustment to new staff and expectations a GF Strong. Pray for those from the step down unit staff that he affected. Our verse for today in Phil 3:14 I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.
PS GF Strong is at Laurel and 26th close to Oak St. If you are visiting you access it off King Edward(25th) turning north onto Laurel St.. Visiting hours are 12 to 8.
