Moving forward

Robbie is doing ok today. He is a little frustrated about not being able to eat still. They need to test him and see how he swallows. Rob was able to sleep from 10-3, 5-8, last night. He wrote and told us that. That it's nice that he been sleeping better.
Today my mom and I were in the room when a social worker called us out. She gave us the news that they want to move Rob to another hospital to keep moving forward in his progress. He no longer needs an acute care facility. The new hospital will be focusing on rehab. They will wean him off the trache there as well. We all went to visit the place (except for Rob) and we were impressed. They all were private rooms, private bath with shower, a door that is not glass and it's quiet. We think he will like it better. Someone from that hospital has to come over and evaluate him. We noticed an empty room while we were there and requested it. There are other places Rob can go to in Texas, but this one is our first choice. His current lung doctor works there and Rob really likes him. We all talked to Rob about this and he is ready for a change. It will be nice to have him out of the icu.
