John had a really good day today - the best in a long time. Not a single severe "crash" because the meds did not kick in. Tonight he and Margie and I went to the movies and saw "Marmaduke". Well the movie might not have been a highlight but getting him out really was.
Having said that, I also had to realize that it was much more difficult to accomplish this small outing than just a few months ago. Giving him his 8pm meds via tube in the middle of the movie was quite a feat - and he needed me on one side of him and Margie on the other to make it in and out of the theatre. It was quite exhausting for him. If we do it again we really need to take his walker or a wheel chair.
But it certainly was a two thumbs up day!
Prayer requests:
- that the meds will continue to work on this schedule
- that he will be able to enjoy more outings and that his strength will increase as the activity increases
- that he will sleep though the night (he was wanting ice cream at 3am last night)
- that he will feel well enough to go to church in the morning
