Saturday May 16

As soon as I got to the hospital today I asked about a patient advocate to talk to, being the weekend the person I really needed to talk to wasn't there but I got the charge nurse. We sat and talked and I gave her a list of my complaints at how dad was being treated. I got a lot off my chest and got answers, also had one nurse taken off dad for the rest of his stay.

Also because I was upset, misty eyed, and complaining about being so tired the charge nurse moved dad into another room (a bigger room) that had another empty bed. She said I could stay with dad as long as I wanted and use the extra bed to nap on if I wanted. Who knew I could accomplish that by being tired and on the edge of tears?

Dad's new room number is 6205.

They took the dressing off dad's trachea wound to let it heal. This is good.

Dad just called and asked me to come to the hospital so I will have to finish this later.
