Shelly's Good Night - Ready to Move

According to her nurse, Shelly had the best night of rest so far. They are planning to move her this afternoon by ambulance. She will be going to St. Mary's in Grand Rapids instead of Spectrum. It is the hospital her surgeon prefers. They will not consider moving Bruce until the at least the end of the week. Right now, the physician willing to take him as a patient is at Spectrum (one mile away from St. Mary's). They are trying to find a St. Mary's doctor to take Bruce, so that IF they move him he will be at the same facility as Shelly.

A big upside to St. Mary's is that it is attached to Mary Free Bed which is one of the best rehabilitation hospitals in the Midwest. No matter where Shelly and Bruce get "put back together" (even if they stayed in Kalamazoo) they would almost certainly end up doing the rehab at Mary Free Bed.
