[TheForge] Terry ridder update

[GHS]

I got this from Deb Ridder this morning. There is finally an address that is usable. The other was an ICU that didn't aloow much in the way of cards and such. The ICU phone line also had its limits.It sounds like terry will be rehabbing for a while.

Here is the latest info and new address.  Terry is now
at the 
Hines VA Hospital 5th Ave. and Roosevelt Rd. Hines,
Il. 60141
Unit 11 E.  Rm. 1104-4    Phone # to his room
1-708-410-6321. 
He likes to get phone calls am included. He arrived on
Friday evening so I have been down there the last two
days. There will be some family member or friend
visiting on a daily basis for this next week to make
sure things are being done for him. They ordered a air
mattress so he could be more comfortable. Yesterday,
they took off the bandage on the left leg and it is
looking good.  The right shin has a new bandage and is
now in a splint.  The chest tube was taken out before
they transferred him and he only uses a nasal
breather. They are lessening the pain meds. and he
does get some morphene at night. I will be taking him
his wheel-chair tomorrow. The ortho doctors are
suppose to call later today to let me know what they
are doing for rehab. So far I am pleased with the care
at Hines. I know they have the doctors from Loyola
University to consult with which is right next door to
Hines. Thanks for all of the prayers! Deb
