JULY 13 ANOTHER DAY AT THE U OF A HOSPITAL

Travis began the day with O2 again but was looking brighter according to his Dad - he usually takes the early shift. The doctor came in and expressed concern regarding his arm with the picc line as it is still swollen. We are still awaiting the CT scan which was to be done on the weekend and there was no talk of discharge day today - we need to just take it a day at a time. They are continuing to try to fine-tune some of his many meds.

He did say today that he is dealing with less pain and we continue to see an increase in his appetite and less confusion. He spent more time in physio today doing the treadmill and other leg exercises. He was very tired afterwards but he did give a smile. OT then spent time doing relaxation and upper body exercises which he appreciated. His Mom & I thought he was more chatty this afternoon and he spent some time imitating/razing us which we took to be a good sign. I felt he was more relaxed when we left tonight.

Thank you all so much for all your support in so many ways. We know there will be more bumps along the way but I thank the Lord for the place he is now versus days ago.
