A Day Off

Dad had therapy yesterday (Thursday) and his blood pressure got a little high during it. So we were keeping an eye on it and this morning he was having a headache and a little bit of high blood pressure again, so we decided it would be best to take a day off of therapy to work on lowering his blood pressure. He seemed dehydrated (he doesn't drink water) so we started him on a strick water intake and are trying to eliminate the tea and soda. By noon his blood pressure was normal. Then by evening it was creeping back up again, although his headache did not return. So we will continue to monitor it and work on stabilizing it. He felt good enough to get into his chair for dinner and go outside to enjoy traffic with mom and the kids. Then Timmy came in and got him ready for bed. Praying for a restful night tonight and normal BP tomorrow. Thanks for checking in - we appreciate your prayers & support and love! (P.S. thanks to dad's friends who sent coconut cake thru mark rogers. . . i got a piece of it and yummy! dad and mom really enjoyed that treat!)
