Pa was transferred to Herrick this afternoon. It's an acute hospital so it has regular hospital rooms. They were able to give Pa a private room across from the nurses' station. That's good so that he has high visibility to the nurses. Dorothy said they do that for open heart patients -- put them in rooms where the nurses can keep an eye on them.
I found out that Pa's Heparin has been discontinued, but it's not clear if that was deliberate or an oversight. The nurse will follow up with the doctor at Summit.
I didn't notice any improvement in Pa's hand today. He had his usual physical therapy and occupational therapy today. No speech therapist showed up though. They'll be working intensively on his speech and swallowing at Herrick.
If anyone wants to visit, Herrick is at 2001 Dwight Way in Berkeley, Room 5107. Take elevator C.
