Dad continues to have a good day, Praise God!! He has been only on the CPAP all day, starting at 6am and is doing well with this. When we talked to the nurse at 8:30pm he also wasn't on any medicines. They ended up feeling like they should wait until tomorrow to do the swallowing test, so that is the plan so far.
He is having horrible pain in his left shoulder blade area, has been been complaining about it for a day and a half now. The night nurse told me that she would have them do an xray and see if something was wrong, well that didn't happen. So when I got there this afternoon I made it very clear to his day nurse that the xray was going to happen and we were going to have the results before we left today. Xray was done and results showed that there was nothing fractured. They are thinking that it is a pulled muscle. He wrote on a note pad that when he coughed it was like a sword pushing through the muscle. He was able to get a heating pad put on it and they are giving him some pain medicine...hopefully this will help overnight. They were also going to give him something to help him sleep (I know the other night they gave him Benedryl...not sure what will be given tonight).
My brother did the previous post and I very much agree with what he wrote about mom, please keep her in your prayers. Any healthy visitors are also welcomed throughout the day, that is the best motivation, comfort and support for her that she can physically grab onto (of course we appreciate all the prayers also).
Well another blessed day with alot of answered prayers we thank you so much for all the support!
