So as I'm sitting on Brenda's patio, about to fall asleep, she gave me the great idea that I could write the blog while relaxing on this beautiful patio...
What did I say the other day, holy cow...what a day??? I think I forget what other days were like.
Holy cow what a day!! As soon as I walk in, I find out that they are moving Steven. He was moved to Rehab on the 8th floor. It went really quick...within 1/2 hour he was moved. Then we (Katie and I) met with the floor greeter...she gave us tons of info, rules for th floor, etc. The immediately had a speech evaluation. After that his new Dr, came in to see him. I was a little overwhelmed with info...can't imagine how overwhelmed he was.
He will start rehab on Monday. 1 hour each of occupational therapy, physical therapy and speech therapy. We will find out what the hours of therapy are on Monday. Not sure if it will be during our visitation time or not.
So after all of that, he was laying there for quite a while. Very quiet. Not really interested in talking. I thought, ok, maybe we are moving onto a new stage? Meds changed? It was just nic to sit with him.
After a little while, boy did things change...he, of course, wanted the mitts off, wanted out of bed...so after our usual struggle, he decided to push on my stomach with both feet, to get me out of the way so he can get out of the bed. He started hitting me with his "boxing glove" and then he decided to spit at me! Ok...totally was not expecting that! I am told that this is totally normal...nothing to be concerned about. Oh boy...finally had to have the nurse come in.
Of course he slept most of the afternoon after the nurse came in. Patrick and Cindy came in and he was pretty quiet for most of their time. Not very interactive. Still fighting to get boxing gloves off but not out of control. We asked him who Pat is...he said "that's my Dad"...sweet moment :)
Other than trying to pull his IV out with his teeth, the rest of the night was good.
Ok...so I'm about to fall asleep on Brenda's patio...good night all
As always, thanks for all the prayers...love you all <3
