Update on Bill

He's been seen by the Dr. from Caro, a doctor from the hospital, a cardiologist, and a neurologist. I don't think there were any others, but I'm not sure. The social worker is in the process of finding a place where he can go for rehab. If rehab doesn't help him improve a LOT, we will be looking for a long-term care facility. He did walk down the hall this afternoon, about as far as it would be from his lift chair to the front door. I was quite surprised, because he hasn't been on his feet since Monday afternoon. He's cooperative and nice to everyone who is working with him. He's also happy that he has his dentures and can eat most anything he wants. I think he has pneumonia, the doctor from Caro thinks he has Parkinson's (I'm fairly certain that's not so.) They've ruled out heart problems. The brain has shrunk, and they are going to do some more checking on that. Haven't seemed to be able to get anyone interested in finding out why he's lost feeling in his legs and can't get a message from his brain to his feet. Guess I'll have to try harder tomorrow. I'm doing pretty good. Getting more sleep at night to make up for losing my afternoon naps. :-) Trina is coming home for Thanksgiving week. She has been talking to the hospital every day and to some of the doctors, so I won't be able to get away with anything.
