Bob and CiCi
Although Bob continued to have some problems with low blood pressure, he managed to get in 2 physical therapy sessions. After the 2nd session he showed improvement in his right arm and hand (stroke side). At lunch Bob ate a bit more than he did yesterday. He ate almost half of his mashed potatoes and 1/3 of his meat. Bob also received a dinner tray. He seemed to really enjoy the potatoes, corn, meat and vanilla pudding. He fed himself at both meals.
Bob's culture came back on his bedsores. Unfortunately, the culture came back positive. If you visit Bob please wash your hands before and after the visit. You will also need to wear a gown and gloves if you come in contact with Bob. This is all in an effort to get him on the right track and his bedsores healing. We are waiting daily for the word that he can move to Pinecrest for acute rehab.
I spoke with former Channel 12 News Anchor today, Bob Nichols. He had two strokes many years ago(I think he was in his 30's) Right now, he comes off as being 100% better. He had a different kind of stroke than Bob M. Nichols said that there is normally faster improvement with Bob M's type of stroke. He said that the physical therapy is extremely important. Nichols said that he always did two or three times the amount of physical therapy that he was asked to do, which helped him improve faster.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, my point is that if Bob Nichols can do it, then Bob Morden can do it!
