| BYO PARTY IN ROOM 210W!!!!!! |
Dad had another great day. They took him to swallow therapy and then down to a private room. He then began singing a "water" song. He has been asking everyone for water and they won't give it to him until his throat muscles get stronger. So from asking he decided to start singing it. From there he progressed to lifting opposite arms and legs. Then he teased about starting a morning exercise show for the geriatric unit. He said he might even try dancing with the therapist who is going to start his walking tomorrow.
They still continue to monitor his blood sugar (teases the nurses by calling them "blood thirsty"). Dad has been a treat!!!! He is eating mashed potatoes, mush chicken, beans, thickened coffee, and applesauce. Breathes hourly into a tube for exercise (said it should be set up like a slot machine so that when he hits the right number he can win something). Next he started playing with the bed controls. I told him that the bed is not a disneyland ride. I actually think he is trying to get kicked out of the hospital.
At 6:00 pm Dad said we could go (now i am suspicious).....though I did overhear that he was planning a party in his room. The receptionist at the desk even said she was planning on going. He even asked Mom to set the room lights low. I told him not to stay up late, he said he would take a small nap first, watch "deal or no deal" and take it from there.
GOOD GRACIOUS DAD!!!!!
Love
