October 16, 2010

Dad is much more comfortable in his new apartment just walking distance from the hospital. He started physical therapy yesterday and though it was painful, it went well. The only bandaging that he is still having changed every few days is over his right hand and is progressing well.

Mom has been much more stable over the last week. Her blood pressure and pulse is controlled and her temperatures have been continuously manageable. As of this morning, her blood cultures came back clean. They have noticed, however, that her white blood cell count has been rising. Though we are not sure of the actual cause, the heightened white blood cell count could be in relation to several things (medication, bacteria in other areas).

Have a wonderful weekend!!!

  6. Thanks for another posting Trina. We check it everyday. So happy that your Dad has a place to call home for now. Please give him our love and best wishes. Also your darling Mom. We had great fun doing Dance exercise together and I'll be waiting for her to return however long that takes. Let's hope for a great week for all of you.
