Update as of 3/11/11
Dad has made tremendous strides in the past 24 hours. The doctors have approved a less stringent blood pressure parameter which plays in his favor. In addition, all of his medications have been at a lower dose which shows signs of improvement.
Dad had a very excellent physical therapy session. He was walking alone from chair to bed and vice versa. He was able to do arm exercises and could even throw an 8lbs medicine ball to the therapist. However, Dad’s reaction time is a little slow and hopefully rehab will help with it. The physical therapist says ‘the way your Dad is improving he will be out of here in no time’. Awesome!
On that note, because of his miraculous healing and big improvements the next step is to be moved to an acute rehab facility. The timeline for the transfer to the rehab facility is sometime this weekend or as late as next Monday. Excellent news indeed!
The neurologist commented that with his overall progress it did not even seem like he had suffered a stroke. I do believe it is because of God’s healing hand on his body. Not to mention, all the prayers that were lifted up from all of you. Please continue to pray for full recovery and that my dad may grow closer to the Lord thru this time.
Stay tuned.......
