Moving to another facility

Michael will move to Select at PSL this afternoon. Their job is to wean him from the ventilator and for PT and OT.
Michael sat up in a cardiac chair today. (It can be placed in a fully reclined position and can move to a sitting position, so the patient doesn't actually have to use muscle to sit up.) The chair was obviously made for someone much, much, shorter. He was very uncomfortable. His legs went well beyond the foot rest. They made him sit up for an hour and he was very unhappy. Oxygen wise he did great! He was just squished! Poor thing.

Michael will be transported by ambulance with a ventilator, cardiac monitor, his chart and all the CDs of his lab tests, X-rays, etc.
