Matt just heard from the rehab case manager. They had their weekly team meeting about how Dad is progressing. Sounds like there wasn't a whole lot of news but what there is, is good. They indicate Dad is making progress in all therapies. He is having some difficulty with speech because, when he talks so much, he is "pocketing" his food and then can choke on it. He was unable to complete therapies yesterday due to low blood pressure. They think his pressure was low because he was a little dehydrated. His blood sugar has also been very low several times. This is why we are glad he is in a acute rehab--they have the experience and facility to deal with medical issues as arise. Nothing more was said about a discharge date.
It is so nice to have a little bit of "quiet" for once. Hopefully Dad can continue with his progress and life can slow down for everyone.
