No Change

Harry is sleeping day and night with very little response. I am praying that the steroids change that - staying very quiet and praying for a recovery..

Please check here regularly - the phone makes him jump..

I promise to keep posting updates..

Decent Night

Changed his medicines last night. His body is still aching quite a bit but he slept through the night without too much trouble. Yesterday we were able to talk for a little while and that made me feel better. Hopefully this medicine change will show some improvement over the next day or so. His Mom is coming today and my sister and her husband are coming for the weekend to help.

I am calling home health today to see if they did anything about getting a hospital bed. He would be more comfortable in that I think. Anyway - we'll see how all the new things work out ..

I'll update more this afternoon..

Spoke with a couple of doctors today

They are changing up his meds a little in hope of getting him some energy and hopefully eating, the consequence is higher blood sugars but if it gets him moving.. we'll deal with that..

thanks for all your prayers..

Both the Nurse and Physical Therapist Came today

I spoke with both of them and we agreed so I have put some calls into the doctors to see about adjusting his medicines to see if that helps at all...

Now just waiting on the calls...

Both said he seemed better today..

A little better this morning

I am a little encouraged by his reaction to me staying home today. He has already had a glucerna and turned in the bed. I am going to talk to the home care nurse today - I think I may know what is causing the extreme fatigue. Anyway - thank you for all the prayers - please pray for his strength to return...

Not So Good

Harry is sleeping all the time now. I am not sure where we are headed but I have taken tomorrow off to spend the day at home taking care of him. Pray for Harry ro have the strength to tell me how he wants to go forward, give me the will to accept the answer he gives me.

Please if you have it within your heart - ask God to help me give him what he needs and ask God that his will be done for Harry and that Harry gets peace, comfort and if my prayers are answered health and energy.

Thanks to all of you - I will post again tomorrow after the nurse comes in the morning.

Too Much for a Short Title

Harry Mom came over yesterday and was able to get him to eat a little more than he has been, he also asked for pudding last night when I have him his meds so that was encouraging. He was unable to do much with Physical Therapy yesterday - maybe on Friday with his CNA - exercising his legs.

And in the Of Course category... my neighbor AL came by to let me know that one of the teenage boys that roam the neighborhood threw a large rock through one of my windows. So I had to call the cops and deal with the one of the kids of that group who of course "didn't know who did it" in front of his parent and the cops but sure boasted to a bunch of other kids yesterday afternoon. I explained to the brat in front of his parents that - had they thrown the rock into the next window - they would have hit Harry and I cannot begin to tell them what kind of -ell they would have paid. So with everything else - now I have to have a window fixed.

Stephanie and her friend Courtney (Al & Bonnie's daughter - my neighbors) helped me tape it up for now. Also Mike Sr & Jr. Al has offered to cut my grass with a riding lawnmower - if I can get someone to weed eat - (that is probably spelled really wrong)

Anyway -that is how my day ended and begins - there is good and bad everyday and as someone who was really wise one told me - it's not the event - it's how you handle it.

God - I give today over to you.
