Things are getting better around the Kisner household. Mom is better and dad is coming around. Today was not one of his better days. Although he slept all thru the night, he just did not feel as good as he had been last week - today he was very lethargic, very soft spoken and even very sluggish during physical therapy. We went to see his neurologist Dr. Fowler and she felt his catscan was right where it should be at this point in his recovery. However, because of the "regression" we have reported in his cognitive thinking since she last saw him when he was in the hospital mid-december, she decided she is going to have his thyroid levels rechecked as well as his urine to make sure we are not missing anything with those things. She also is trying a new medicine with dad to help improve his cognitive thinking beginning tomorrow. Dad did pretty well on the trip, but boy by the time we were on the way home, we couldn't get him home quick enough. He feel asleep almost within 15 minutes of getting into bed and is still snoozing! Thanks for checking in today- sorry I didn't post yesterday, the day just got away from me!
UPDATE TO THE POST. . .Just wanted to say that when dad woke up from his nap - he was much more alert and talkative. I am so happy and relieved - I was a little concerned earlier with his demeanor - but boy do I feel better now. He is even laughing a little too. Nothing like a little nap to make a person feel better! Check him out with Robby & Brady in the picture!
