After a good night's sleep John woke up this morning feeling quite good. We planned on going out and getting several things done we have not been able to do since he got out of hospital. He even felt good enough to take a shower ( rather than the sponge bath method ).
However, this did not last and by noon he was beginning to crash again - and we did not get any of the things done we had hoped to accomplish. Things just went downhill from there. He had a poor afternoon and an even more difficult evening. At one point we skipped one feeding so I could give him more of the Parkinson's meds because he was in such distree.
Why would the meds work for awhile and then not? The regime is so structured that there is little room for anything being different from one time to the next. It is very frustrating and puzzling. So far the antibiotics do not seem to be making any difference.
So one thumbs up for the morning but one down for the rest of the day!!!
