How to Contact Mom and Dad

I just got off the phone with mom and here is some more information:

Kindred Hospital
6441 Main Street
Houston, TX 77030
Phone: (713) 790-0500

When you call it will be an automated lady, you can enter 5202 I think at any time and it will ring in dad's room. If no one answers then most likely mom isn't in there, and dad doesn't have a voice yet to answer the phone.

Mom will 99% of the time be in there from 11am-6pm. She can go back in at 8pm after the shift change but she will be needing that time to talk to the nurse before she leaves. She will have to sit and wait in the waiting room from 6-8pm. She is trying to keep similar hours as she did at Methodist. We ask that no one call after 6pm, although if you want to come and see him once the 8pm visiting hours start up again, then people are welcomed to. Visiting hours start around 8-8:30am, mom just won't be there until closer to 10:30, talking to nurses when first arriving about the night, etc. I hope all that is clear enough.

She said that things are going better today with the nursing care....she was relieved about that. She still has to stay on top of things, but the lady is nicer today and in the room more. Mom did say that dad's chest is still hurting him a lot, like a soreness (which is to be expected). Dad did say that he slept much better with having his own room. The air is still not fixed in there and it is apparently still colder then it should be.

My brother visited him at 8am this morning, if he has more to add...then I'll let him, but as far as me, this is all I know. Mom has a few questions she is going to ask the nurse when she gets back from lunch about blood work, temp and those type of things...so I don't have answers yet.

Thanks again for all the prayers!!!

P.S. We had a good apt with David's now pulmonologist. We liked him and feel that we have a good game plan for keeping him as healthy as possible. Thanks!
