10/1/08:
Alan has been moved to the Admissions and Discharge Unit of the hospital from the ER. Much quiter, more comfortable for him. This unit is used for patients who do not need to be in the ER and are awaiting a procedure, transferred in from another medical clinic and waiting for a bed, or awaiting discharge. As the nurses put it "It's very "Zen" here." Quiet, soft colors, rounded chairs and desks with a sitting area if the people waiting do not need or want to be in the beds. Okay, I have a comfortable chair and a pillow and blanket too.
Alan is napping, awaiting more orders from the doctors. They expect the doctors to make the rounds about 7:00 a.m. so we'll know more at that time. He will be having an EKG this morning.
His nurse this morning is Faith, it's mom's birthday, and the first organ offer didn't come through. Hopefully all of the stars are aligned correctly today for this to be a successful procedure without many blips in the road.
