It has been so long since I've updated the blog, things have been so busy! Work, caring for family and just....life.
Reid and I still go up 1-2 times each week to see CP and last night we were so surprised at his physical changes. He is using his left arm to assist his right arm to eat and drink. He appears to have conjunctivitis and can't stay awake through dinner. After an hour we decided that we would go ahead and go home.
When CP got up from the dinner table to go back to his room he was very unsteady on his feet and seemed more confused than usual. Reid stopped at the nurses station on the way out and told them about the changes that we noticed and asked them to have the doctor order tests to see if his brain shunt is failing. We expressed our concern that he could be a fall risk and were told that PT would evaluate him. Today they called and said it will be Monday or Tuesday before PT can see him. So, we called the family doctor and made an appointment for Monday to see how he can expedite the process.
