Evening post - Day 103. Good day here. Rehab stepped it up today and brought in a mat and got him out of bed and onto it to stretch him . He really did well with that . Everyday they say he does more than the day before . He did better with his swallow study today. Also he took several spoons of water . Blood pressure is better controlled right now but we think the large doses of medication hes on makes him sleepy. We dont let him sleep at all during the day in hopes of him sleeping well at night . So easy In this environment to get days and nights mixed up. So we keep him on schedule . We try to have him settled in by 7:30 or so at night . This allows Amy and I the opportunity to slip out of the hospital for an hour or two to eat a bite and reflect on the day , the progress being made, the changes wed like to see for the coming day, the little things he did that I didnt catch or Amy didnt catch . This doctor that we like, that doctor that we dont like . But it always comes around to talking about God. We sit and think what will be his next move here, making sure were listening so as to know when to act and more importantly when not to act . Being in the hospital long term in 2014 takes a lot to manage even in the best facilities in the country . You better show up with your A game everyday because its just three of us and hundreds of them. No way for the information in a case as complex as Stones not to get distorted with Being handed off so much to different departments. Dont get me wrong, Im not complaining. Its just the cold hard facts in the BUSINESS of medicine. Tonight we thank God for the victories of the day. Train rolls on !
