PTL - John had a good day today. Yesterday the GP increased his meds and that seems to be helping. I checked with the neurologist today (well, the nurse clinitian) and she basically said go ahead and keep inceasing them if he needs them unless he passes out from low blood pressure or starts twitching all over the place from dyskenesia. So far no sign of either of those.
John did his singing today - although he found it hard to do - and also a few minutes of exercise. This is encouraging although one good day does not a victory make with this disease!!
I found today tiring because I had a lot to get done - meds to get, taxes to pay, groceries to buy (at two different stores) and because of the timing for the meds and feeding, I had to make seperate trips for each one - it seemed like a long day!!
One of our toilets has been causing problems and Zeke came and repaired it for us today. Thank you Zeke!!
It was a two thumbs up day.
Prayer requests:
1. That the meds will continue to work well without having to increase them any more
2. That John will find singing comes easier and he can enjoy it more
3. That he will continue to exercise and that his strength will increase
4. That I will get the rest I need - I am feeling very tired.
