This morning we got the news that they will be moving Dad up to the stroke ward on the 6th floor. What great news! He had already had visits from the speech pathologist and occupational therapist this morning. He is a bit weak on this right side (especially his shoulder). Of course, after telling Mom this, she informed us that he hurt his shoulder shoveling ice out of the dog kennels. Probably hasn't helped to have it inactive all week.
The physical therapist will be by today and they will get him out of bed today. So, a big day today with lots of activities which I'm sure will make Dad very tired. He is now taking many of his meds orally and they did hook him up to an IV again to give him more fluids (as he ripped out his feeding tube two times already and isn't quite eating enough yet).
We'll work to keep you updated on the transfer. Happy Monday!
