Wednesday December 30, 2009

Today was an awesome visit. Tahna was there trying to get the nurse to come help him with something. When she went to leave again, he shouted (whisper shouted), "Tahna! Tahna! never mind." It was great to hear him say her name.

Dad has Dysphagia which is the medical term for difficulty in swallowing. It is a sensation that suggests difficulty in the passage of solids or liquids from the mouth to the stomach. He also has Aphasia which is difficulty in speaking or understanding spoken or written language.

He's been doing awesome on the bike in physical therapy. He's been doing standing crunches on his own and walking with help. He's using his right leg more and more

He asked Tahna how long he's been in the hospital, so he still needs reminding of why he's there.
