today the speech therapist gave him a few ice chips and told dad she believes he will swallow again. dad said, 'what are you, a motivational speaker?!' this was funny. he sat in the cardiac chair for an hour, but he was mostly leaned way back, and it took awhile for the lift team to come back and put him back on the bed.
he did dialysis today. he is on a three times a week schedule.
his feet keep getting very cold or hot (the blood flow problem) and i got him a new heating blanket by requesting it from the new doc Anne Finkelstin.
i warmed up his feet using towels that i soaked in very warm water and wrang out, and pressed them on his feet over and over. his toes were purple and i got them back to a normal pinkish color. he has a few purple spots.
the last few days he has been napping during the day quite alot.
his weight was the same today and we did get a chance to check if the bed starts at zero. it does. hopefully it's reading correctly.
when he's awake he's cracking jokes here and there. sometimes get nausea, and complains of pain less and less everyday it seems. sometimes he's very confused. he coughs up alot of flem.he has been sleeping a lot during the day.
so things are about the same as yesterday.
Andrea Chung sent beautiful flowers! she's in Hong Kong!!! thanks much!!!
