The last two days have been 1 step back and 1 step forward. Buck looked better today but pretty frustrated.. The cathetor was removed due to an infection. Changed towels once an hour or two to keep him clean. Bowel moves are so demeaning to him. He was emotionally down today. I managed 30 reps on each of his arms and hands. He also developed bronchitis and they are checking what strain it is. Got his flu shot when he was admitted and his pneumonia shot today. Weaning him off blood pressure meds. No fever and all vitals are good. First day that he was breathing completely on his own. He starts yawning late in the afternoon and they do assist him at night with the vent. It is imperative that I work with his arms and hands. I do not want him laying paralyzed in a nusing home that is an hour away. I will only be able to visit every other day at the most. The case worker told me not to move yet because most likely they will move him again in another month. This is what happens when you don't have insurance but I am fighting that we can possibly get him placed at Colonial Manor where my Mom spent 6 years. Family owned since 1962 by the same family they treated my Mom very good. They keep everyone clean and busy with many activities. Food is decent. We ate lunch and dinner several times. We'll see. Anyway, so until tomorrow.
