Hand Improvement

Yesterday Pa was able to close his hand around objects. His grasp is even tighter this morning. He couldn't do that just the other day.

Pa failed the swallowing evaluation again. That's three days in a row that he's failed it. They plan to put a PEG tube in him today to replace the feeding tube through his nose.

The occupational therapist helped his take a shower, but it was mostly to evaluate how much he can do. He can't reach his back but otherwise did well.

He had a lot of visitors yesterday. I don't think he got much rest. Usually he sits up in his chair from 6am to past 10am. But when I came in this morning, he was back in bed although he had been sitting up earlier.
