It's Rose here, updating for Sue. She is having a very rough few days, complicated by a urinary tract infection, so won't be released right away. The house physician is talking today with Dr. Hogan, Sue's neurologist, so they can adjust her meds as needed. It is always a delicate balance, as we have seen (once again) after the abrupt withdrawal of the trial meds on May 28.
In hospitals, clinics, doctor's offices, rehab facilities I've noticed time and again that some of the best healers are the ones lowest on the totem pole. Here, the people who clean the room, bring the food, and generally assist with the more menial tasks are universally kind, tender, and patient. Same was true at the hospital last week. Sue has been on the 11th floor at Barnes-Jewish so many times that many of the staff know her. She lost some clothes and shoes last week. Someone tracked them down and is sending them to our house.
