Hi...this is Karen. Not much to report this morning. I think because he was awake so much of the day yesterday, he might have plans to make up for it today. :) He's been pretty sleepy since I got here at 8. He woke up a tiny bit....long enough to take a few bites of breakfast, but didn't have much of an appetite. But he promised me that if he feels hungry later, he'll let me know. The Stroke Rehabilitation representatives stopped by and said that he was stable enough to move to the rehab center soon. This will most likely (nothing definitive decided yet), be moved tomorrow, to the University Hospital Stroke Rehabilitation Center, that is in this hospital on the 2nd Floor (we are currently on the 3rd floor). This sounds like it would be the best alternative for him at this point, because they do very aggressive physcial & speech therapy, to provide the best results in the shortest amount of time.
In the meantime, things are pretty quiet. The nurses come in less now, to check his vitals and things, because he is more stable, which is nice for him, cause he is getting tired of being bothered every 15 min. So now, it's just a waiting game, until we get the word that he'll be transferred to Rehabilitation. I'll update in awhile, after the physical therapists and/or speech therapists stop by.
I love to hear all of the small improvements! Hopefully moving to rehab will move things along. I just spoke with my dad and he would love for someone to call him (call his cell phone if you call today). Of course, you are in our prayers! Love you, Rebecca
