Just got home from the hospital and thought I would post a quick update since it's a positive one for a change! Dad had a pretty rough night last night..he was very restless, feeling hot and even had some vomiting this AM, but they think now that those symptoms were "withdrawal" symptoms from one of the meds they took him off of this week. After giving him the med again, he was much more relaxed.
He hasn't had any seizures since the event yesterday and he was able to sit up, eat and visit a little more today. When I saw him this evening, I noticed a big change in him since yesterday - his emotions and speech seem much better and overall he just seemed a little more like himself. He even laughed, which was a nice change.
His nurse tonight is wonderful, but tomorrow he will be transitioned out of the ICU to the step down level. Prayers the transition goes well, we are able to continue to see improvement and that Dad decides to move forward with the filter procedure, when he has the opportunity again to do so. Thanks again so much for the support.
