Busy Day

Dad has a day filled with Therapy. At 10:00 he goes down for Occupational Therapy, 11:00 Speech Therapy, 1:00 Physical Therapy and then he gets a little break. 3:00 he has more Physical Therapy.

Today when he woke up he was able to walk down to his shower and back. He even got himself dressed. He did his own zipper and tied his own shoes!! The shoes took him about twenty minutes but he sat there until he had it done. He is so determined.

Dad was pretty mad at all the nurses this morning when Mom got there. Last night he told the nurse that the tape on his nose holding his feeding tube in was bothering him. The nurse removed the tape and fixed it up so it wouldn't bother him anymore. This morning the new nurse thought he had pulled it off. He couldn't make them understand that it wasn't him and to not put it back on. It's been a few hours but he is still ticked. Haha!

His blood pressure was really good this AM. It was 138/80 and when they took him down to Therapy it shot up to 178/102. They are still letting him work though. They are just keeping a close eye on it.

I'll keep you all posted on how therapy goes.
