Bill finally made it back to East Coast, arriving via medevac from Coronado to Andrews Air Force Base last night after midnight. Now, he needs to be transitioned off IV heparin and onto oral medication ( coumadin) and he will be ready for discharge either to inpatient rehab or home with outpatient rehab and home health nursing for PICC line management. That is all still to be decided, but he continues to strengthen and improve (Cr today is down to 4.4 and H/H is up to 8/24!!!!) So, slowly but surely he is continuing to progress. Case Management will arrange all of his subspecialty follow up and therapy, but he is so happy to be back in Maryland. His family visited today, and I return to work tomorrow.......Thanks everyone.
