From his wife:


Chris is moving but not to Fairview. He is moving about 5 min east up the hill to Kindred. They have a very good working relationship with the lung transplant team at the Clinic. Chris will be followed closely by the team remotely and they will visit him as well.

They are saying Tuesday.

3. I worked at Kindred for nine years

They are very into customer satisfaction.Tell his wife to get very well known to his primary care and the nursing staff....positively if possible.I developed very deep relationships with my patients and their families...we still keep in touch. I worked with quite a few post transplant patients there...both on and off ventilators.Nutrition and physical therapy will become extremely important.They have weekly case conferences...she is allowed to attend his and ask questions.

4. Very cool!

She is a positive person, so I think this will happen.

The only thing I'm wondering is: which Kindred? I was just looking at the map and there seem to be several. Or maybe I'm just confused!

Thanks for your input.

7. Thanks for the update!

Sounds like he is doing relatively well, all things considered.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

8. I believe he is!

He is more stable.

This hospital specializes in weaning people off their ventilators, and that is what he needs to do next.

9. Excellent!

Being off the ventilator will make a world of difference in the quality of his life. I hope it goes quickly!
