From Denise May - today’s update.
I texted and portal messaged the big docs this morning. They answered right away and said on it. Head nurse was here to discuss my “dissatisfaction”. I said hold on bubbaloo. I am only wanting what the doctors told me they ordered.
And for him to be ready for 3 hour therapy! To get the benefit. Yadda yadda.
I don’t want to be in the middle.
So now Sherry OT is here.
She says there is a fine line for acute to take him. Can’t be too good or too bad.
Working on in bed urinal use with him right now.
All agree he needs to walk more…but staffing. We are not allowed.
PT should be coming at some point.
OT worked on urinal training.
He is very alert, less dyskinesia, ate independently, walked well. Still having accidents though so working on that.
Also focusing on left side awareness (lack of it) So having him face a direction to encourage using left awareness.
If he is accepted at Duke Regional therapy in Durham he will go Tuesday. If not they will look for alternative and could be sooner or later.
