Update 4.10.18
Good day today also. TBI patients lose their filter and Bob is no exception. I try not to laugh at the funny stuff he says because it makes him so much angrier.
B: help me
K: with what?
B: these gloves. Get them off (he still has mitts on)
K: I can’t. Holly (nurse) says I’m not allowed.
B: I’m not asking you to go on an illegal mission.
Then I laugh and he gets mad. And I feel bad. He really wants out of this bad hotel. He was seen by PT and Speech today. Speech had him propped up in bed and had a couple of ice chips, a few sips of water and two spoonfuls of pudding. All dyed bright blue to make sure he wasn’t aspirating anything. He did well, but his tongue, lips and cheeks are out of practice for eating so they were sluggish. He was evaluated by Moss Rehabilitation today and he will be presented to their board tomorrow morning. Please pray for his acceptance. Magee Rehabilitation comes Thursday to evaluate and I tour both facilities on Thursday. I plan to make my first and second choice selection by Friday. Please pray for me to make the one that is in Bob’s best interest. Keep praying for all of us. We will still need these prayers for quite some time. Thank you all for loving us. Love, Karen and Bob
Belly full of Blue Pudding…
