About Monday

I'm so sorry I am just now posting about Monday, on Tuesday morning.

I talked to mom last night and she said that overall the day went better. Dad seemed a little stronger (although overall still not feeling good), the nurses were much better, and his main doctor was more attentive. Praise God!! Now if we can just keep this kind of care going.

Only issue I heard about was around mid-day dad's heart rate was up to 130 and they were having to give him medicine to bring it back down. Which my understanding was that he was on strict meds to keep his heart rate regular, so not sure why he didn't have the medicine already. Something else to check into.

Mom had a check up apointment with one of her doctors yesterday morning and come to find out her doctor went to college with my dad's doctor at Kindred. Long story short, my mom's doctor ended up calling my dad's doctor while my mom was in his office and talked to him about the connection they had with the family.

I talked to dad yesterday and he seems real discouraged at how long it is taking him to get his strength back. I was able to talk to him about how far he has come especially with his upper body strength, the baby steps he has made with his legs and just encourage him overall. He knows there are going to be tons of baby steps along the way that will all come together in the end, although when he is living it every night and day and doesn't remember most of the first month it's hard for him not to get discouraged. (as expected)

Please keep up all the prayers for dad, mom the family and everyone else involved. We are praying for another good day today. In addition, mom has another doctor's apointment with MeeMaw this afternoon, please pray for the doctor's wisdom.

God Bless!
