Visiting REMy–Points to REMember

Hi all now that Remy is in the Neuro ward the visiting is a little bit different than it was while he was in ICU.  While stimulation for Remy is good, it has to be the right kind of stimulation.  Any stimulation should be the kind that promotes his recovery and does not cause him any anxiety which further cause him to “posture”.  Please keep in mind that sometimes the Nurses and staff need a little bit extra time on the tail end of the timings to finish up, so don’t be put off if the quiet time extends to 2:30 pm or the Nurses Report extends for an additional 30 minutes.

The sign on the door to the ward is pretty clear and a picture of it is below.  If may friends show up then I would ask you to respect the wishes of either his mother Kerry or me, Rej, his dad, and to keep the noise down and take turns of about 10 minutes or so each and rotate amongst yourselves so that you all get a good visit with Remy.  We have to keep in mind that there are other people in the ward that are trying to recover from the same thing as Remy and we should all be mindful of that.  Cheers Rej
