Bob in Ft. Lauderdale
Bob continues to struggle with the protein solution that he gets twice a day. He gets very sick and feels awful after it is administered. The doctor said it will need to be changed and the nurse said that she will have to talk to the dietitian who orders it. It's all a process that sometimes takes longer than we would like.
Bob has had a sibling watching over him every day since his stroke on March 25, as well as family and friends stopping in to see how he is doing. Today Bob sat in a chair for an hour. He continues to feed himself mashed potatoes and other soft foods that they will give him at this point.
We are reminded of the patience and strength he needs, through our prayers and encouragement as he is challenged with the constant ups and downs in his healing process. We are thrilled to see his progress, but it is difficult to see Bob frustrated and sometimes angry. It upsets him when his words don't come out right, the bedsores are very painful to him, the nausea comes from the protein going into his feeding tube, the desire of sitting up/getting up and when he wants to call someone on the telephone. With all of these challenges Bob is very grateful for the love, prayers and support of everyone.
