Update on Harvey

Yesterday was a bit grim. The nurse reported Harvey was “agitated” and had to be sedated about 11am. This meant he was not awake and alert for his swallowing therapy or the big sitting and standing session.

Today was a lot better. He did much better eating, not getting choked at all and able to feed himself a little.

He also went to another room for his physical therapy, and was able to walk for several minutes helped by an aide.
This is really encouraging. Each day is different, so we don’t go in with any expectations. He will have a good day, and then seem to fall back a bit, so we take one day at a time, and celebrate the good things and accept that we are not in control. We are all doing the best we can and this cannot be rushed.
