Up then Down; Up then Down!I'd been stalling on my next post... waiting for some real good news (after all, I did say there'd be more good news to come, right?).
Well, after 2 days of waiting, and more ups & downs, I figured I needed to get an update out whether there was any real good news or not.
Things have been, once again, pretty sedate since the last post. Monday, Tuesday (and so far Wednesday), Dad's given very little in the way of verbal responses.
For the most part his replies; mostly nods & shakes of the head; have been given with his eyes closed, and lots of time has been spent sleeping.
A low grade fever yesterday, but today his vitals are once again holding strong.
John (the PT guy) has been by to work with Dad on his range of motion. They're hoping he'll soon be more responsive and able to participate a little (okay, a lot)! In the mean time, they're teaching Trish what to do to help keep him loose & limber and she's passing it along to us.
What's causing the lack of responsiveness or the increased sleepiness? Nobody knows! Hopefully this time around it's brief and not detrimental to his recovery.
Keep him & the doctors and nurses that are caring for him in your prayers. Dad that he's pulls through stronger than ever. And the staff that they can discover & resolve the issues Dad's struggling with.
Pray on!
John
