Bill, Tuesday August 20 - everything fine, sorry for delayed post

I'm so sorry I haven't been able to post. I haven't been able to log on to Blogger with my phone; flash, flash, round and round. Probably should do a hard reset.

Everything has been fine. GREAT NEWS: TODAY, Tuesday, big improvement in the numbers for his kidneys.

Sunday was quiet.

Monday was rather chaotic. Our expectation for morning therapies was blown. There was just a little OT, with e-stim to the left shoulder. Bill had an off-site doctor's appointment, needing to leave before 3:00, so I was able to snag the speech therapist at 2:00 for a little bit. (She explained she's filling in for the therapy director this week, so she has meetings and paperwork two hours each morning.)

The doctor's appointment was nephrology and hypertension (nephro is kidneys). They are taking him off a couple of meds and ordering a couple of other simple changes. We hope those will reduce the stress on the kidneys.

PT today said they note continuing improvements. Bill just had a partial shave, below the jawline, in prep for e-stim on the vocal cords this afternoon. Come on, voice!
