Monday

For all the confabs and visits from every kind of doctor and therapist today, I haven't got much to report.

His condition is still about where it was last night. He is aware that he is losing strength and is wanting something to do to curtail the atrophy. I found his PT and asked him for some diagrams of exercise he could do while in the bed or chair. We didn't get any diagrams but the PT did come in twice today and got him to walk twice. An OT came in and showed them some arm and hand exercises to do.

Mom and Dad did meet with a rehab liaison to get the ball rolling. She will evaluate Dad's condition and determine if he will do well at their facility. I don't think that the doctors are in a hurry to move him yet but thinking ahead keeps a goal in our minds. Finding the right balance between medical and therapy is a challenge.

Thanks again for all the support and good wishes, and especially the prayer.

God is good!
