Update from Becky and Nancy April 1

From Becky-
Dad had a 6th episode of bradycardia this morning as they replaced a tube in his trach called the inner cannula.  But this time, his heart stabilized (and quickly) without intervention.  He has been stable since.

My mom and I have slowly been catching up on our sleep. The hospital gave us a "sleeping room" which is a regular hospital room that families can reserve as a resting spot. We try to request it each day and its free!!  I feel like we are members of this hospital! Lol-like we have ownership in it, and that they should consult the Parsleys for any major decisions the hospital makes...budgets, improvements, etc ;)"Our "belongings" are spread all over! LTAC, 2south(sleeping room), dad's room...we've moved in ;)


From mom:
Neurologist this  morning said good to establish a plan/ pattern regarding being bedside.  Said hard as it is I should be predictable in leaving and let him know where going and when I'll be back.  Said then he can know passing of days and can anticipate.  Also he can be free to not be interrupted or feel he has to be "on" for me.  He said we must give him the time he needs and expects things will return tiny, sometimes unseen and randomly.  He has no fever and still getting antibiotics.
Dr Lanka said he can return to LTAC when social worker receives re-certification, which is in the works.

We might have a touch of sleep deprivation... Becky, this morning, "Where are my clothes?  Oh they're on me!"
