Moving on up

This afternoon they moved dad from TICU to the 5th floor. This is good news.

Dad is working with a physical therapist and getting stronger. Dr M wants dad to be able to stand up on his own before they do too much with his blood pressure. Since dad's blood pressure goes up and down depending on what he is doing I can understand waiting.

Today dad was saying some weird stuff. The doctor said it was coming from the Ativan they gave dad. I tend to disagree because he had this medicine before and he never had a reaction to it. We will just have to wait to see.

The doctor still wants dad on thickened liquids for a while. Luckily dad isn't really complaining about this.

Things seem to be getting better. Holding my breath.
