Bob's doctor will be the same woman that saw him yesterday. He will remain on the third floor after all. Good. He has done enough moving lately. Bob met with all of his therapists. His occupational therapist is called Amanda, his physical therapist is called Dan, and his speech therapist is called Katlyn. I don't have their evaluations of him, so I can't answer the most anticipated questions such as how long will he stay at the rehabilitation hospital or what can we anticipate from his recovery. I hope to know more by the end of the week to set realistic expectations of what Bob's future holds.
Bob's food has now been upgraded to "advanced soft thin with closed supervision". Yesterday it was "soft thin with one to one supervision." Bob has already improved in less than a day! He continues to eat well and tonight's dinner was linguini with clam sauce. Yum! Bob was able to swallow a whole soft pill today. He dreaded taking medicine by crushing the pills. The speech therapist predicts that within one week Bob will be eating normally.
Dan, the physical therapist, said Bob looked better in person than on paper and put him in a wheel chair to teach him how to get around in one. Tomorrow Bob will get a wheel chair that can be maneuvered with just one hand. My mom took him for a ride around the sixth floor and showed him the gym facility.
Bob is happy to be there, relieved to be home and in a hospital that is devoted to rehabilitation. We are all happy to have you back, too.
Thanks for reading and keep the positive thoughts and prayers coming.
