Dad got moved to room 402A, and his new direct number is 713-797-7403.
Apparently he was quite nauseous today, so the OT people put him in a wheelchair and took him outside. Of course, this was the first time he's been outdoors in 11 1/2 weeks, so he LOVED it! The OT folks left him, and when he and Mom got back to the room, Mom realized there was no one there to help him back into bed.
Mom left to get someone, and couldn't find anyone. When she got back, he was in the bed and was heaving his legs into position on the bed! He had used the techniques that OT has been showing him for wheelchair stuff. Mom went and told the doctor, she was so proud...and the doctor was impressed--but said, "OK, but we don't really WANT him doing that right now, especially unsupervised." But, the doctor wasn't mad, just wanting him to be safe.

Hallelujah for those of us who push the envelope and do what is thought to be impossible!
