RECOVERY BACK ON TRACK




 Today was a great day for Leif. Leif looked great, relaxed and renewed! [Go Figure!]  His pain levels tonight were in the 3-4 range. This is very good compared to days before. Although there is still swelling, the problem swelling that appeared yesterday has disappeared. His blood pressure is now normal. All cognitive signs are now fine.  Leif is eating with a good appetite. His PT [physical therapy] session today was very good. He had two walking times.  Leif’s doctor came in and chatted with him.  He feels that the reason for Leif’s move to University was precautionary due to the supporting reports received. When Leif spoke with the Pain Management Team a consensus was reached that the problems the day before were possibly chemical related. [Medications]  There was a low sodium reading which came into play. Please pray that the medications are reviewed and set in place to best fit Leif’s current health issues.  As healing continues the medications will drop off by God’s Grace. The medical teams will soon decide what is best for Leif next. Continued inpatient therapy at HealthSouth or outpatient therapy from home will be the considerations. He continues to strive to remain centered through reading the Holy Text.
Blog Brothers and Sisters, God Bless each of you, as you lift Leif up in prayer and encouraging support. Your acts of faithful prayer are felt by Leif and the family. God Bless!
