A WARD OF OUR OWN!
Well my wife made it home on
our Anniversary! Sort of! She was
allowed to leave the hospital where
she has been fighting pneumonia
but she remains a patient as part
of a new program that brings the
hospital into your home! An
electronic system sends all of her
vital signs to a 24 hour monitoring'
station in real time. She wears
what amounts to a transmitter on
her wrist and she's hooked up to
an oxygen system which can be
regulated here depending on her
needs. Two nurses set up the
"DeCosmo Ward" and explained
all the apparatus and set a
schedule of tests she will administer
herself. There's a table with a built
in Zoom connection to a doctor
who can brief her whenever
needed. All she needs is an in
house nurse. Looks like that might
be me! A day or two of that could
find her reapplying for a room in
the hospital! Still, there's nothing
like healing at home! Hope you're
all well and that all your NEWS
is good!
