The Room with a view didn't last

The lovely room with a view was like a quick vacation.  Now he has been moved up a few floors to a blah room.  But with some urging, he will likely be moved again tomorrow.  And to think he doesn't like moving . . .  Hospital moving requires quite a procession of people, single file behind him on his big bed following the nurses' orders and each of us carrying some of his orthopedic props and the various decorations from his room.

As you remember, yesterday Kelli was playing the role of me in Dad's mind.  This continued today when both Kelli and I walked in at the same time.  He looked up with a big smile to see who was visiting and then a puzzled look came on his face.  He wasn't sure which one was his wife.  He didn't say anything.  He just watched as we both walked across the room.  I took his hand and Kelli started to explain she was Kelli.  He finally focused in and Kelli got a  "Kelli Jack" and clutched my hand so tight - he wasn't going to let go.  As Brian came through the door - he recognized him right away and by name.  What a nice Bon Voyage gift as they are set to celebrate their 25th Anniversary in Italy beginning this week.

Kath and Mike arrived and they joined the group as we prepared for the move out of the luxury suite. . .   Joe, Deb, Anna, Jon and Andrew arrived just after Howard was settled in the new room.  We said our goodbyes and let them have a nice visit.
