John had a very tough morning and early afternoon. The meds were just not taking effect. He did not even make it to sitting up in his chair until after 3pm. However in another hour he was feeling good enough to come out onto the balcony with me and sit and enjoy the sunshine and breezes for about an hour.
The evening went fairly well, although he was very uncomfortable with his mouth. He not only has sensations of all sorts of stuff in his mouth, but now it often seems to be sore as well. But there is no infection in it. He seems to have an involuntary reflex which causes him to suck on his saliva making it impossible to open his mouth and talk. This makes it very frustrating for John and for those trying to communicate with him.
He did get his speech therapy done today and it went much better than yesterday.
I was all set to make this a two thumbs down day but now I think we will make it one up and one down!!
Prayer requests:
He is supposed to go for massage therapy tomorrow. Please pray he will feel well enough to go. He has a very sore shoulder that we would like the therapist to work on
