Sunday

I spent yesterday and today with Richard and Christie. Yesterday, Richard and I went for a long walk with 'Mama' and then we played Bingo. After dinner, he wanted to take a nap, so I left. It was a great visit. Christie slept, she felt really hot with a fever. The nurse said although she has a fever, her lungs sound good. Her arm isnt as swollen as its been.
Today, we got there and Richard was sleeping. We woke him up and he said he wanted to sleep for an hour. So we went with Christie. The nurse said Richard was in there earlier and Richard called Chrisite's name and she turned her head towards the noise. Then the nurse said she moved her arms around when Richard said something funny. Both of those things might have been coincidence but its cool anyway. She looked good today. Didnt feel hot. Moved her arms around when I touched them and turned her head from side to side. After Richard woke up, we went for a long walk outside. The we played UNO. When dinner came, we all ate together. He ate most of his food. As far as the green tea goes, He is allowed to drink it but I have to put the thickener in it. Richard knows he is moving to the other facility. For those of you who have never been there, its a building down the little street (walking distance from where he is now). He will have to come back throughout the day for his therapies. Its apparently very structured at the other facility. No napping. You are required to be doing something at all times. They try to simulate real life and most people are up and at it most of the day. He is a little freaked out about that. It might take some getting used to.

Thank you very much for your posts and updates. I am the person who Richard was getting the ferrets from. I have been reading all along. I did not know what had happened until Christy at the rabbit rescue contacted me about the ferrets and told me what had happened. The whole family is in my prayers every day. Dona
