Hospital Update

I apologize for my difficulty in staying current on the blog.

Patti is doing fine and feeling much stronger today. It does not look like she has pneumonia according to the doctor late this afternoon. They will do one final x-ray check before discharge.

Her blood pressure drop was due to dehydration and her dehydration was due to not taking in enough fluids. So we will be making sure we pay attention to that in the future.

She is still receiving antibiotics to knock out some throat and sinus congestion and will continue on those for several days.

She will be discharged tomorrow (Thursday) for sure and will be back at CNS to hit her therapy full speed! By the way, yesterday afternoon and today her speech took a nice step forward. She noticed it and was bragging a little this afternoon. Bragg Patti, bragg!!! I love to hear it!

Thanks to all for your prayers. Our Father is faithful and I am convinced this was a feeble attempt by the enemy of Patti's soul to discourage her. It certainly hasn't worked!

Forever in Him,

Mike
