I'm sorry it took me all day to finally post an update, I truly haven't had a spare minute in this busy busy day. In term of my Dad's condition, it is basically unchanged but I have some great news:
My dad is being air-flighted back to Pennsylvania, TONIGHT!!!!!!!
I cannot even begin the express the relief I feel. The relief of getting him to Hershey Medical Center, where I know the resources are amazing. The relief of having fresh eyes looking at his case. The relief of GOING HOME.
I owe such a huge thank-you to my work-family, without them this early transfer would not have been possible. My nurse manager Lynn, clinical head Josh, his wife Cathy who is the chief neurology resident, and many others all worked hard on getting my dad accepted as a patient at HMC (where open beds are difficult to obtain, especially in such very small amount of time) and secured flight transport THE SAME DAY. My manager Lynn stayed several hours late after work to do everything necessary to secure his flight transport. I am so blown away by their care, compassion, and dedication. I think there's a reason that when I packed my bags Sunday night in a panicked tearful rush, that the only shirts I packed were my HMC ER t-shirts. I couldn't be more proud to wear mine today.
