Floyd Jr Visit - 8-28-07

Posted in Floyd & Marilyn at 8:48 am by Floyd Rosson Jr.

I arrived at the hospital yesterday afternoon. My first visit was with Dad in the CICU unit. He seemed to be in pretty good spirits. He is unable to communicate so our conversation was all one sided with some brief nods from him. He is doing better than he was the last few days but certainly has a long way to go before he is out of hot water. I then went over and visited Marilyn’s and found she had two cousins here from Missouri and
Iowa (I think). They had been with her most of the day and we visited for a while. I spent some time being sure Marilyn knew I was present and I communicated to her I was going to be here for the next week to help see her through this. She has a large neck brace on which is pushing her head back and limiting her movement to virtually none. Marilyn seemed very depressed, distant, and just not happy. Certainly understandable based on her present condition. I did speak briefly with the social worker regarding Marilyn’s progress and when she will be moving. The process has started and we expect sometime next week Marilyn will be moving to her more permanent long term care facility. Her file has been sent to Southtown Nursing and Ventilator Care in
Bixby, OK for evaluation. Due to the proximity to
Tulsa we are hoping she is accepted there and the move can take place next week. I will be visiting today and updating the blog on a regular basis while I am here.
