moving...

Hi all I know its a few days early but I have another update...

Because she is breathing on her own now, even though she still has the trach she is no longer
allowed to stay in Acute Care at Eden Hospital in Castro Valley.   They will
be moving her today to Kentfield Rehabilitation and Specialty
Hospital.  It is a long term acute care hospital specializing in the care of
complex medical and rehabilitation patients who may require extended stays
to achieve the best recovery possible.  Her doctor told us that it is a very
good facility and she will be in good hands.  Of course her care is
the first and foremost requirement, but unfortunately it is not a close
facility.  It is in Marin County, just north of the Golden Gate Bridge.  I
have listed the address and phone number below.

As it's a little upsetting, as we were all able to see her everyday at
Eden and we will not be able to that now.  And we all agree that visits from
family and friends will greatly increase her rehabilitation. If at all possible, try to get out there during the week as now the weekends are going to be filled with visitors.

Thanks again for all your good thoughts and prayers.
