I spoke with Chris briefly before supper, after he had a bath and he seemed alert and coherent. Tonight when I spoke with him, he was totally knocked out either from the day or the meds. He started an increased dose of Lyrica tonight (100mg instead of 75mg) and today he started 250mg of Keppra 2x per day. The last nights dose of Depakote-ER may still be working out of his system. He said that he felt totally knocked out and out of it. 😴💤🥱
His reports for today:
OT - Kyle did a ton of stretching on his left hand and intense work with his left fingers. Normally it would hurt, especially the fingers but today it didn’t so Chris feels like that is great progress!🙌😊🎉
In Speech he believes he read short stories and answered questions but didn’t recall anything specific.
In PT there was a lot of left leg stretching, possibly a stand up or two, something else and after that he threw the weighted ball at the trampoline and caught it. He really wanted to remember what was in between- it wasn’t the bench, it wasn’t the recumbent bike, it was something that Alexis said just 3 more and then you can throw the ball at the trampoline so he thinks it must have been something he didn’t really enjoy.😉
Tomorrow is botox….in the stiff left muscles. Prayers requested for minimal pain and great results! 🙏♥️🙏♥️🙏♥️🙏♥️🙏♥️🙏😊🙏😊
