We have been at the hospital since 9:30 this morning. It is now almost 5p.m.
We have watched his swallowing therapy. He is able to swallow better and can feed himself a bit without choking. On a last drink of thickened water, he went to sleep with a mouthful of water . He didn’t choke, but very well could have.
We watched him in therapy for hand eye coordination and verbal skills – and then two sessions of large muscle therapy today.
He did not recognize Brian or me at all and reacted very little.
We are now researching nursing homes close to our condo building. We want to be sure he is comfortable and gets the nursing care he needs. Physical therapy is secondary right now and I am not physically able, even with a live-in nurse, to provide the care he needs. We are hoping this will be a temporary move, but no one knows for sure now.
It is hard to accept when you have little control over something this important, but we will do the very best we can for my husband.
