Reality Strikes! David is still good!!

Well, today started off great.  I met David on his way up from PT, where he had worked hard, and his PT, Amanda said he had done great.  We went into Liat, the Speech Therapist, and also did some great work.  Well, he did the work, I just sat by nervously and rooted silently.  Then we went back to the room for some well deserved rest.  David was transferred to bed, and I sat for a while with him then headed out to buy some shampoo and soap (he was supposed to get a shower in the next day or so), pick up some stuff from the Container Store to hang the cards and pictures that have been gathering on the side table and grab a bite to eat.  Went to Kiehl’s on Third Ave, then to the CS and to the Gramercy Cafe (diner on Third and 17th, not really a cafe) where I avoided getting completely drenched in the sideways rain.  David had Occupational Therapy at 1pm, so made it back in time to begin hanging the cards, and join Steph and him for their routine.  I was thrilled to see that his lunch was almost completely gone, except for the mashed potatoes.  I guess he is watching his carb intake.

I told the OT, Steph that he wanted to brush his teeth and he hadn’t shaved yesterday because they were busy doing other things.  He did great sitting up and then transferring to the wheelchair, and we were off to the bathroom for a shave and brushing of the teeth.  He stood for the entire shave, which was great.  At the end, he said he was tired and sat back down in the chair.  Then seemed a little out of it, and became a agitated.  Steph though it might be his blood pressure and got the BP monitor to check it.  While she was trying to check his BP, he passed out, and all hell broke loose.  I was asked to leave and Doctors and nurses were called in from many corners of the hospital.  At the moment, I thought, well, this is it, and he was doing so well, I just don’t get it??!!  Then Steph came out and told me that he was awake and fine.  About 20 minutes later, I got word from Dr. Blume that he was being sent up to the ICU at the hospital for some tests and observation, but that he was OK, he had just passed out and there was not another Neurological Event.  That was a relief!  So, I followed him up to the ICU and stayed with him until 7:30PM when he was dozing off and would let me leave.  For some reason, tonight he was worried about what to do if he needed to go to the bathroom and seemed to think that it would be a good idea for me to stay to handle these issues for him.  I was able to allay his fears with the help of the nurse and explain that they would actually respond to his calls even if I wasn’t there.  There was actually a lot more to it than just that, but too much to go into here.  He did finally feel safe enough to let me leave and told me to go, and I was grateful for that.
