There really isn't any new news.
E. continues to make progress. He did several laps around the floor today, as well as his physical therapy exercises. His medications have been modified a little. He took a shower and was able to clean his head and incision area a bit. Overall, he simply looks a lot better. A lot more stable. A lot more oriented. A lot more "with it."
We've decided a hospital bed would probably be beneficial at home, at least temporarily. We have a tall log bed and there was concern about him getting in and out of it. E. is also sleeping pretty elevated as to keep the pressure off of his head. A hospital bed will make that all easier, so one is being delivered to the house tomorrow. A 3 in 1 shower chair/beside commode/toilet support is also being delivered. I know some of you are jealous, so E. promised to loan it out once he is done with it. Go ahead and submit your name for the waiting list.
We have yet to hear back from the Diabetic Wellness folks to give us the Insulin 101 class, but we are hoping that will happen tomorrow morning. Then, fingers crossed, we'll be able to go home.
Hurricane Earl may be swirling around out there, but I'm tellin' you what ... our E. is a much bigger force to be reckoned with!
