Today
Leif‘s day started at University NSICU. Breakfast, medications and
therapies were on his agenda. PT sessions went well, walking and exercise. He
was seen by the doctors and the Pain Management Team. His regimen of
medications was adjusted. During his stay at University, Leif had a chest x-ray
which revealed some lung congestion. He was given an
inhale device to clean out the lungs. Leif’s blood pressure is being monitored
and is a little high. Leif was seen later by his HealthSouth Rehabilitation
Hospital Case Administrator. The path to HealthSouth was reset for 7 to 10 days
of therapy. He returned to HealthSouth in mid-afternoon. This is a great
outcome for Leif and will put him under the guidance of excellent PT, OT, and
ST therapists. When we visited Leif tonight, he looked great and was in good
spirits. His pain level was around 5+. Leif’s goals are to settle into this
time at HealthSouth Therapy and to prepare to get home in a healthy way,
equipped with the tools he needs to go forward in this healing process.
Blog Friends; thanks for taking these daily updates on Leif and
converting them into prayers addressed to the Lord on High. All Praise unto our
God.
