Re: ability to move and raised head of bed/sores

Carol,

Glad to hear that your trip went well. Alaska must be beautiful.

A word from someone who is probably farther down the road than Rob. Speedy is unable to move at all once he is in the bed. It would not matter if the bed was elevated from the head or he was in a hospital bed. He can still move his left arm with ease, but everything else is very difficult for him. The one advantage that the hospital bed helps us with is that we can manuver him into the rafter attached lift a little easier with the head of the bed raised to a sitting position.

Enjoy every minute that you can.

Marilyn,

I had not thought about that as an issue. Thanks for pointing it out.
