All is still well.
Ken slept most of yesterday. He came downstairs to watch some TV around 8pm and went back to bed around 10pm. His mobility is really quite good. Very steady on his feet and no ballance or dizzy issues at all. (I make him crawl up and down stairs for now)
He was coughing A LOT during the night. That kind of cough where you have just exhaled, and when you go to inhale, you feel this tickle in your chest, and you cough by instinct, but you don't have any air in your lungs to inhale after the cough so you sort of 'choke' and wheeze to try and cough and catch your breath at the same time.
We're trying to avoid cough medicine if we can. Not sure how it will interefere with the Kepra 500mg 2x per day.
He has little pain - a bit of a headache from coughing hard.
Speech seems about the same. However, he is writing a bit more. 2 or 3 words. Still having trouble remembering how to form the letters with a pen. Also, can't tell when the pen is upside-down. He will write with the wrong end for quite a few moments before realizing the pen is upside down. Noteworthy.
He is still sleeping and I imagine he will for a few more hours.
More later.

ReplyDeleteTell him Hi!!
Thanks for the daily postings. Dad
You're doing an awesome job. I'm so glad that you both are home now and can take time to rest and heal. Fingers crossed that home life is completely boring for a while, that all the excitement is done, as Amy says.
