This past weekend was a bit of a set back as Dick was very lethargic and having a hard time focusing. He complained of a headache most of the time and then said his right side felt numb too. He was bright early this morning but the doctors wanted another CT scan and doplar on his legs. There is a concern of emboli but the doplar came back all right. The CT however shows more of an evolving stroke that may be affecting the left side of the brain. He was able to get some rest and then given permission to have therapy. They really worked him in OT,ST, and PT. He continues to keep his humor and has charmed the therapists. The interesting thing is that his Spanish has come flowing out and much better than I have ever heard it. He delights in using it and we have so many Hispanic staff that they have a ball.
The hardest thing for me is to see him unable to move around and nnot have any control of his left arm and leg. I can tell he is frustrated but he has been very compliant and so far is willing to try whatever te staff ask him to do.
Becky is here now and Katie went home Sunday. Becky is right in there asking questions and another of our blessings the Lord gave us in our three daughters.
