Wednesday makes a week

Last Wednesday at this time I was sitting with dad in the ER.

Dad is doing better. He started getting physical therapy yesterday. They had him sitting in a chair today.

I didn't actually speak to the doctor today but dad did. Dad understands that the doctor said he might could come home this weekend. I don't know for sure. I do know that the doctor wanted dad to be able to stand and walk a little. And there is the blood pressure tests that they can't do until he is able to stand. This is testing to see how his blood pressure drops going from laying/sitting/standing.

The EEG showed that dad didn't have any seizures. I was worried about this because of all the dizzy spells and falling. So I guess it is all coming from his blood pressure.

They do have dad drinking thickened liquids because he had problems with a swallowing test. This means that liquids may have been going down into his lungs instead of his stomach.

Keep the prayers going up for us.
