Update 6-11-00 3:00pm
Sorry we have kept you waiting so long for an update,
things are going slow and it is not always easy to get to the
computer.
-
He continues to feel better now that he is home.
-
His vision is improving, but very slowely. Yesterday
he was able to read a few words off differant objects
throughout the house, though today he has trouble
making sense of anything.
-
Generally he can get around on his own, but tends to
tire quickly and easily.
-
He is getting hungry often and feeding himself solid
foods now. We are slightly concerned because he was
not drinking much and has become extremely
dehydrated, but I am constantly on his case to drink
more.
-
The only medications he is still taking is pain
killers, and he has cut back considerably on those.
Instead of taking 1 to 2 every two hours as needed,
he has taken only one in the past twelve hours. His
headaches are still pretty bad when he moves around,
but they pass quickly.
-
On Monday he will be having the staples in the back
of his head and down his neck removed. I will try to
set up another update tomorrow evening. Thank you all
for your care and concern.
