Spoke with Mom tonight at around 9:15 p.m. They just visited Papa and were able to talk with the nurses as well as learn a bit of info about some medication changes taking place. Uncle Roy, Ginger, and MacKenzie came down to visit again tonight. I'm very thankful for their support. (BTW, Ginger, let me know if I'm spelling her name wrong. I'll correct it, if so.)
Medically, as of today, there are some blood levels for a certain seizure medication that he is taking that are lower than they should be. They have increased the amount of medicine to help increase that level. They have also stopped one of the medications that he has been taking since he was admitted to the hospital. In place of that medication, they are replacing it with another medication that will hopefully help with some of the personality changes. With all the changes in medications, according to Papa, he will probably be there another week.
Mom says that they are probably going to meet with the doctor on Wednesday. As far as personality changes, not sure there's much improvement there. Hopefully the new medication will help with that some.
Not much else to report medically. Aunt Linda, Mom, and Mama will be reading this post in the next little bit and will be able to comment if needed for anything that I missed.
To the adults, I'm trying to be extremely careful to pick my words in describing the situation. I am aware that there may be younger readers who may not understand exactly the whole situation but want access so they may lend support to the ones they care about. I'm perfectly fine with that. I want that to happen.
I will await word from Mom or Aunt Linda for additions to this particular post and will edit or post another blog to accommodate the changes.
Love to each of you. We will get through this. That's why families are so important. No one need walk this road alone.
