We are almost to 2008 and I am really glad. The last 7 months and 10 days have been really hard on Jim. The holiday season is always a trying time according to the doctors. Dr. Liggitt had told me to work really hard at keeping his spirits up because so many times patients fall into deep depression during this time. I have been positive and upbeat with Jim and it has worked. Today when Dr. Hume came in Jim actually joked with the doctor. He had the doctor really going and laughing. It was so good to see.
We were working on his exercises and there is one where he has to hold his arm up and wave like the queen. This ones always brings up a smile. The other good one is when he has to open and close his had. Well today on the second set of 10 he gave me the finger and just laughed and said see I can still do it. It was just that kind of day today.
Dr. Hume said to keep plugging away because he is doing great. He is going to have Megan reevaluate his swallowing this week and see if he can get upgraded. He wants that cheeseburger so bad. Maybe by the end of the week.
Please be safe everyone as we get closer the the New Year.
