The usual suspects showed up yesterday -- the physical therapist, the speech therapist, and the occupational therapist. I'm not sure, but I think they work on him for an hour each. Pa walked 3x yesterday, reading the room numbers out loud so he can practice his speech. He failed his swallowing evaluation again. He was given some exercises he can do on his face to strengthen the muscles. He's supposed to do them 5x a day. The occupational therapist worked mostly on his arm. He can't move his fingers at all.
Pa was transferred to a regular room yesterday afternoon even though he still has a feeding tube. Dorothy made sure he got a romm across from the nurses' station so that he's highly visible to the nurses. He can have visitors now, so if anyone wants to stop by, come on over.
