Leif’s
day went well, but with challenges. Challenges come in the form of tensions
that build when the timing of the medications, therapies, and meal times are in
conflict. Being ready for the therapy
and staying ahead of the tensions [headaches] is the goal. The ST, OT, and PT
therapists are pushing the envelope and that is a good challenge and the
purpose for Leif being at HealthSouth Rehabilitation Hospital. Cognitive work,
dexterity work, and balance work were all on the table today. Leif is putting
in a full day’s work on strengthening goals and working on all motor and
cognitive skills. Homework is assigned for off duty work. Leif’s pain level is
on a baseline of 3-4. This is coming down, but tensions sometimes drives in up.
Tomorrow Leif and family will meet with the HealthSouth Therapy Group to
discuss the next steps for Leif, both at inpatient therapy and at home. Leif’s attitude
is great. Tonight he said that “The Lord doesn’t want us to miss what he is
doing in our lives”. Thank you Lord!
Blog
