Just a brief update regarding Grandpa Roy ~ it is very possible that he will be discharged from the hospital tomorrow in the late morning! He's had a very good day today, spending lots of time sitting upright in the chair next to his bed, doing his breathing exercises, being "poked and prodded" and found to be ... greatly improved! His tests came back negative both for regular flu and the H1N1 ... great news!
When mom and I returned to the hospital this evening after doing some afternoon errands, we walked into his room only to find it ... empty! And instead of one hospital bed, there were TWO of them, all made up neat as a pin ... with the closets empty and all of Nana's and Roy's stuff gone! I'll admit my heart did skip a beat, and Nana was a bit shocked. We walked back into the hallway and found a nurse who right away told us they'd switched Grandpa Roy out of that room to another smaller one right next to the nurse's station ~ we'd walked right by it on the way in! When we finally walked into Roy's room tonight, he took one look at our worried faces and said, "Well, you didn't think they'd hauled me away to the morgue did you?!" And then we all had a good laugh! He's such a sweetie. The nurses just love him ... but then what isn't there to love?

Hi Mom! I just read all this stuff on your blog! I'm glad to hear that grampa Roy is feeling better. Tell him I'm praying for him if you see him again soon.

Glad to hear Roy is doing better. And WHO switches rooms on somebody without telling them??? What if the visitors had heart trouble or something? But it sounds like Roy's sense of humor was great for dispelling that sick feeling. :)
