Tuesday

Talked with Mom last night and got caught up on the daze doin's. They had the whole HH gang in. His favorite PT came and worked him out. After that the aide came and he got to take a shower. They had a break for lunch and then the OT and nurse came. Mom said he was tired but it was a good kind of tired.

Just talked with Jamie III about the doctor visits today. They did some blood work and have adjusted his meds again. They are tapering the steroid for his BOOP and are taking him completely off Lasix. We will just have to watch for fluid retention and other signs of congestion. Between the 2 doctors and nurses, they took Dad's BP 4 times and all of them were significantly different; as much as 15 to 20 points. So I guess you just have to drive a stake in the ground and bench mark. Jamie III says that he can tell Dad is making progress. I can tell he is getting more confident in standing and getting around, I just hope he doesn't get overconfident. He keeps mentioning that Mom ought to go to the store or church and leave him by himself, "I'll be fine". We are not there yet.

God is good!
