Mom and I just arrived home from the hospital; and like everyday for the past two weeks I'm updating the blog right when I get in the door:)
Two weeks ago today this whole thing started...
Its been a long two weeks...
Dad's tired, we're tired...the body is weak...
Today dad was put in a wheelchair, helmet and all, and sat in there for a while. The physical therapist, Joe, worked on his arms. Dad's left wrist hurts him; so Joe is trying to flex it to help the tenseness go away. Dad's left shoulder moves when he coughs but that arm is definitely more stiff then the right arm.
When mom arrived at the hospital this afternoon dad's blood pressure was way too low! So she spoke with the doctor and he agreed they need to lessen the amount of medicine because he agreed with mom 102/52 is just too low;)
His blood sugars are high still and once they get them better under control then they can hopefully get him out of there...
One of the rehab facilities that are possibly going to take my dad, evaluated his status today. We don't know the results of that yet; but the other one is coming tomorrow and hopefully we will hear soon which one dad will be moving too.
Dad was very tired today. I think I get him when he's tired anyway because I don't get up to see him til after work; so he's been through therapy and sitting up, etc...so he's ready for bed by the time I get him. But I did get to see his eyes today and he squeezed my hand to tell me he loves me and wants to see me tomorrow:)
Lastly, when mom got there this morning, his eyes weren't open but she waited until he woke up and she showed him the pictures of his grandson! And he SMILED!!!:) He saw his grandson for the first time today! (Sorry I didn't get them printed until last night;)
Dad is having a CT scan tonight so I'll let you know what we find out from that when we do...hopefully there is no more bleeding, and hopefully the blood from the hemorrhage that caused all of this...has dissipated throughout his body.
Thank you for the continued support. I encourage you if you haven't left a message; please do so we know you are reading it. It helps knowing you are here for us.

Hey Kim,
I don't know what the Doctors are telling you, but I was fortunate to speak to one of our Neurologists regarding AVM ruptures. She told me it can take up to 2 1/2 months for the blood to reabsorp itself. Once that occurs, then your Dad may improve very well. Unfortunately the brain needs a long time to heal. We are continuing to pray for complete healing. The Kerrs
Yes we are still here and still praying!! Now that he is moving a bit, please let us know if we can do anything for you.
Love,
