Just a quick update on Dad. Some better news today. He moved from the intensive care unit (ICU) to the progressive care unit (PCU) of the hospital this evening, which is a great sign. The doctors have him on a series of full spectrum antibiotics for his infections, and he will remain on those for a few weeks. While in the hospital, they have continued to give him his physical therapy, and they are organizing a schedule for the other therapies (especially speech and occupational) for tomorrow. He has also continued to have some movement in his left arm and is working on strengthening it.
He continues to have some moments of confusion, but he is more often lucid. For instance, when they moved him this evening, he was aware enough to ask the nurse to call Mom to let her know where he'd be. Thanks for keeping us in your hearts and minds.
We are all there walking along side you. One step at a time.
ReplyDeleteI was just talking about Cahill the other day, and what a passionate and fun teacher he was - he has inspired so many. I'm sending strength, love and prayers your way Cahill family, and I'm sure the rest of the Ayers Fam is doing the same. ~ Emily (Ayers) Kuhlmann
