He missed his shower this morning, his blood pressure was low. He is better now as soon as he got back into bed.
For breakfast he had sausage gravy and a large biscuit with pepper, 2 link sausages, oj, milk and a small bowl of strawberries.
I took the ace wraps off his legs and rolled them, undid his waist binder, took his breakfast tray back. The nurses have three new patients. I need to feel useful anyway.
OT did more strength and moving arms, right and left.
Speech lady, Tonya turned the tv on so he would have to talk over the background noise. She is having him talk about the Ducks game last week. He can go on and on about that. She is from Ohio so she talks about her team. She doesn't like our duck water bottle. She is having him whistle really loud and it is wimpy (his own words). She had him blow a paper towel with one breath and it was mild too. She will cut down meeting with him next week to twice a week. She said he is improving.
PT is here now, talking about us looking at wheelchair venders. Bruce told them we want a manual wheelchair. Our car will be better for a old up wheelchair.
They are stretching his legs, getting him dressed.
Hubert and Jodie Morrison and three children came by for a brief visit. They brought us jingle bell tree to use that Iights up.
I left after lunch, need to be here for Andrews first bb game.
He called this evening, he talked to Andrew about the bb game. Said Verl Miller stopped by. His girlfriend is having knee surgery so they are there in St Als too.
Penny McKay stopped by with a box of things from the students. He is excited to look at those.
He was really tired. They are working both arms to get him ready for a manual wheelchair. He said they rigged a pulley system for him to practice on in the evening.
I will take a break from blogging until I return on Monday. Our contractor is coming to look at the house tomorrow morning to see what we need to do.
