Recovery Day 3 - Update (4/21)

Allie and I made it home safely, and once home I called to see how Dad was doing. The head nurse at the ICU said that he was still disoriented, saying that he wants to go back to his flat! I said, "wouldn't you?!" He knows where he is and why he is in the hospital (for the most part), but he's not 100% yet.

Not too much to report for Saturday, April 21. Craig and Cathie arrived early in the morning to stay with Dad for the weekend. They mentioned that Scott received sedative to help him sleep through the night which he did, and seemed more rested when he woke.

The doctors removed his spinal block (which was providing 100% pain interference); this means now that Dad may have a bit more pain as the days go on. Craig made mention that he seems just as active and restless as when Allie and I were there.

The nurses helped him to his chair again today, and he took a few more assisted steps back and forth to his bed--it's good to see that his is still mobile!

Craig and Cathie are heading back to NY tomorrow, late morning, and will chat with them about Sunday's update.
