[Happy birthday to Bill's Aunt Joan.]
Bill had lots of assessments today. Speech said cognitive stuff is really good (which we already knew). She will work on vision, reading, and general problem solving.
He had a good stand in physical therapy (PT). There was some dizziness after awhile, but he was up for a good bit and pressure appeared to not go down. One goal is to increase standing time and increase skills with the slide board.
Occupational therapy (OT) is sorting out how to help is left hand, sounds like she wants to get a better brace. Because he does not have much movement, except from the shoulder, the arm naturally wants to curl, as do the hand and fingers. It's very important to keep everything flexible. OT also helped with morning shower and dressing (he has to do as much of the work as possible).
The therapists all seem good and approachable so far.
He got "surprise" food today, not what he had put in for the orders yesterday.
Blood test was almost normal, meaning the kidney function is getting back closer to normal levels.
The chair is less stressful since they are able to more quickly respond when he needs to get out.
