Pop is definitely more tired than ever, and he is now having trouble eating and sleeping. The rehabilitation specialists at the hospital keep at it, though, and give him "swallow" tests to see what he can eat and drink and they try to get him out of bed regularly to ensure he gets some rehab in.
Right now, I'm actually at the hospital and Pop is very tired, so I'm letting him sleep until his dinner arrives.
I asked about his therapy today and he had both speech and physical therapy this morning. He also had another swallow test and they stated that he should still drink the thickened liquids.
I asked if he could drink his Shaklee protein shake, but the doctor did not write down that it was okay for him to drink it, so they are going to follow-up with her in the morning. Kim, the nurse and coordinator on the floor was in today and she was very nice and seemed very organized.
She mentioned that his 2 physical therapists stated that he was very fatigued and needed constant encouragement to try to stand. He couldn't support his own weight.
I'll keep you updated.
