WE MOVED!!!!

Yup that's right we finally made it onto the next step of this craziness.

They started Cory on a different sleep med. last night and he said he was actually able to get some sleep. Unfortunately whenever they give him a new sleep med. it seems to work for about one night and then it doesn't work again for him. This morning Cory was able to get on the tilt table and in a chair both, for a total of about an hour. Sadly at about 11am he said he was already feeling like he over did it. PT really can wear him out if hes not careful. There is a very fine balance between pushing Cory enough so he gets stronger and pushing him too much and actually causing more damage.

It was also confirmed this morning that Cory does have another infection in his lungs and so he was started on another round of antibiotics.

Then at 11 am today the nurse came in and told us the the EMT was going to be there at noon to transport Cory to his new "pad". We had no idea that we were going to be going today so it was a little bit of a shock but I think it was good that Cory didn't have much time to work himself up about the actual move. So Cory experienced his first ambulance ride (no sirens of course) and I was sure to take lots of pictures (per Cory's request). It was a bitter sweet farewell to the people and hospital that we have been for the past 2 1/2 weeks we really know that we got the best care possible but, we also know that this move was what we need to do now. (as scary as it may be)

Cory said that he was really weirded out being transported. He feels like its a dream and when we got to the new place he was really emotional. We have heard that this disease can really affect your anxiety levels and it has for Cory. He gets stressed really easily and it takes a while and usually some meds. to calm him down when he gets too worked up.

So since we have moved to a new facility its not quite as strict so if you would like to visit Cory please e-mail me at corysvisitors@gmail.com and I will give you the information you need to come see him. Cory really would love to see people he just wanted me to let everyone know that because he still has his trech with the cuff inflated at the bottom he wont be able to talk to you or really communicate with you unless you are a master like me at reading his NO moving lips haha.

When I left Cory tonight he was resting but I know that the move today was really really hard on him so please continue to pray for Cory's peace of mind. Also Cory requested that people pray for a speedy recovery of his lungs so he can get off the trech. (he really hates it).
