What room is Mike in?

Julie was asked this question before Mike's birthday. A friend wanted to send him a birthday card and the past few years has had to send them to the hospital.

"He's not in the hospital!" was Julie's answer. And for that we are grateful. Not only because it wouldn't be any fun stuck in isolation on your birthday but also because he just got out of the hospital on June 28 and that would make it less than a month!

Mike turned 30 on July 25th. A blessing.

On July 30th he returned to the hospital. His room number is D6/534.

On June 17 he was admitted to the hospital, not feeling well, tired, yucky. Lungs were at 41%. Two weeks later he was discharged and lungs were at 39%. Mike was disappointed. Seemed like a lot of work and suffering to lose 2%. But still, he felt better and Mike always perseveres...makes the best of things. He was able to attend a charity Harley ride and visit friends. The difficulty breathing and going up stairs came back quickly.

He was admitted with his lungs around 30% on Tuesday, July 30. Oxygen sats were at 94%. Thankful he didn't need immediate oxygen. Took a while to get his room. The room is so small people were bumping into me so I left until they got his port started. It was accessed successfully.

I was able to take Mike to the hospital. I hope to go back and see him soon. I have more time now that I am not working.

More to come. Love, love, love.
