This weekend Jack did very well. Noah and I were moving in this weekend so it was difficult to get over to do exercising and baths. We did however see them in the AM and PM for meds (which they took perfectly) and to make sure they were fed. Jack still struggles with his energy. On Friday Noah has a hard time getting him up to do anything. Saturday he did seem a bit "spunkier" and that lasted all day. His BP has been up and down. I've only taken it the last two nights and the first night it was higher (155/80's) and tonight it was love (93/35) however i don't think my wrist BP cuff is right for him as he shakes quite a bit. I am going to get him his own BP cuff and thermometer tomorrow. As far as nutrition goes they have been eating well. The pre made meals are a hit and they usually eat most of them. We will keep an eye on that to see if they need more/less. The ensure shakes are a hit with Jack. He loves them for breakfast and usually will have a second one throughout the day. He loves them so much that is he now out of stock! Ann has a case ordered for him that should come in later this week. In the meantime Noah is going out tomorrow to get a case to last him for the week.
We were able to finally relax after a long weekend of moving and were able to go over and sit down to a meal with Jack and Marilynn for Sunday dinner. Cohen loved sitting with Marilynn and reading a book. Jack went off to bed but not before I gave him his PM meds. I really feel like this will be good for them to have use over often. Marilynn just loves Cohen!
THIS WEEK
Jack has a dr appt I believe it's Wed with Dr. Phillips. I'm not in the look with appts but I would like to be so Carol let me know if this is right and where you plan on writing these appts so we can keep up. It's also nice to have them on a calendar to remind Jack and Marilynn.
Physical therapy and skilled nursing come to the house a few times a week to check on Jack. If one of us catches them please get updates. I would love to get into contact with the nurse so we can compare notes. It would be nice to show them our calendar so they can write the dates/times when they are coming so we know when to expect them.
If anyone has anything else to add please don't hesitate!
