Thank you for the kind wishes.
This particular hospital is the only local one left, the others going bankrupt and closing, and was purchased by a company who upgraded and renovated everything, it is first class in terms of environment and personnel.
My husband has been in intensive care all week where the nurses and doctors are on constant watch, I get to speak with a few doctors every single day and nurses are always right there for any need. The surgeon also monitors his progress and stops by frequently. Physical therapy and social services are there to exercise his legs each morning, and to plan to transfer him to a rehab facility for a short time before he comes home in order to get his physical strength back.
So that part of it is very encouraging.
