John had a restless night last night, had to turn him because his hip got so sore. Today was a little better than the last few days except for the problem with the saliva. Seems like he has been stuffing kleenex itno his mouth to sop up the saliva the entire day. he used the suction machine for awhile but his arms get tired holding the wand in his mouth.
Got the final paper work today for the purchase of a hospital bed and Vicair mattress. Sent it in right away to our extended medical and we will see how much they are willing to cover.
Please pray that they will review it quickly and grant John the majority of the cost for both items.
The doctor has confirmed that John has a mild case of shingles. So I went and got meds for that today. Hopefully they will prevent a bad attack like the last time.
Otherwise things have been quiet today.

Not a thumbs up or thumbs down day
