Morning starting off good. Has already had PT exercises. Shown some new exercises that will help strengthen him and will allow him to shift his tush some. The therapist told Hager not to waste his time on negative energy (frustration with himself and others) but to put it toward things that will move him forward. Reinforced the steps he has made forward. Told him that he was so very sick that he couldnt even lift his head at first. As each day passes and each part of him gradually improves he should eventually start seeing a snowball affect. Today is wound care/debridement day. Buttocks are looking better to me. Will see what doctor thinks. Doing well pulmonary wise. Stronger cough and handling secretions better. Still needs trach cannula rinsed and minimal suctioning. Respiratory treatments mostly by mask now. Dr said he could be capped longer. Infectious Disease doctor wants antibiotics a few more days. Neck still has small goose egg at right mandibular area but not sore and not inflamed. Its his neck jowl!!!! God is still in control and is guiding us along the way!!!
