With all the changes in hospitals, I've lost track. Where is the address to send stuff to the medical staff?

Is it:
The staff at Neuro-ICU, Unit 4A4,
University of Alberta Hospital, 8440-112 Street NW,
Edmonton Alberta
T6G 2B7

Good morning, all.

We've been struggling for the past week... Lee has been trending downward in response and clinical symptoms since I last posted. We had a visit from the grandkids on Good Friday, and she seemed to perk up a little bit, but by yesterday, it was obvious that she wasnt well... again. Her surgical team reappropriated her and moved her to a recovery unit - surprisingly, back to the same bed and private room she was in after her colectomy - and they have been running tests ever since.

I stayed with her until after midnight last night, when she finally settled and I felt ok about leaving. Back this morning at 0730, and she is pretty sick; sleepy, a bit febrile, not feeling well at all. I see another day of testing in our future... with any luck, somebody is going to stumble across the answer. An answer. Any answer.

If I'm tired, I can only imagine what she is feeling...

That's what it looks like here, on Day 147.

Sometimes the only way you can find out what it is is by trial and error..ie it could be one of so many things so they have to plug through one by one til they hit the right one. You only know how strong you are when you are faced with that which seems to be beyond your limits. Not all wars are fought on the battlefield..Strength to both of you.

No, that's the Neuro ICU which is where she was first, this is where she would be now:

The staff at Neuro-recovery, Unit 4G3
University of Alberta Hospital, 8440-112 Street NW,

I hope this latest setback becomes just a "bump in the road," & that Lee is back on track to recovery. Stay strong, Gerry, and hugs to you & Lee!

I'm so sorry to read about Lee's setback. I hope the medical team finds out what's going on quickly and it can be effectively treated. You are in my thoughts, sending good wishes your way.

 

[Gerry]

Thanks for the encouraging words and thoughts... yesterday was tough.

I got here at 0600 this morning and watched her sleep for an hour... she just opened her eyes... hoping today will be a step forward.

 

[skatesindreams]

Thank you for updating us, Gerry.
Sending even more support to you and Lee, today.

Gerry, we might be spread all over the world, but we're with you!

Hoping that today is a lot better for Lee.

And, if you need to vent, you can do so with us either here or via PM. It's not so easy to do that with your family, especially since they're looking at you to be the rock right now. Or, just go outside and yell at the sky when you need to do so. Some of us have been there and done that so we understand.

 

[WildRose]

Please know that you and Lee have so very many people rooting for you. I think of you both often. The sun is shining, spring is in the air, here's hoping today will be a little better day.

 

[FreeAgent]

Oh Gerry. The road is long with many bumps, curves and turns. Sometimes you're up and then suddenly you find yourself going down. You are being shaped and molded but holding on none the less. I cannot tell you how much I admire and is inspired by the both of you.
You and Lee have my whole support (however virtual it may be) and I pray that you see the end of this and are rewarded.
God bless you.

 

[kimkom]

Oh, Gerry, how frustrating and scary for all of you! Massive hugs and good wishes to your whole family.

 

[skatfan]

This has been a long road, with lots of obstacles. Holding you all in prayers, escpecially you, Gerry. It's certainly calling on all of your reserves to walk this journey. May you bump into angels to help you to stay strong

 

[Simone411]

Thank you so much for the update, Gerry. Keeping Lee in my prayers. Praying for your strength and for your family's strength to endure. May God watch over you and Lee. <3

This.

My husband has metastatic cancer, and spent several months in the hospital a few years ago due to a colostomy reversal that had severe complications. I can understand at least some of what you are going through. This place and several of these people have been amazingly helpful during our journey.

Lots of hugs (again).

 

[Hanna]

Sending lots of positive vibes your way, Lee and Gerry!

((((Lee and Gerry))) sending you my best wishes and hugs.
Echoing @rfisher , please feel free to vent.
