Too much of a good thing...

Hello everyone, I talked to my Dad this morning and our man PJ is trying to take on too much at once it appears. He had a small issue last night going through the withdrawls of the medicine. He has not taken any medicine since he arrived at the rehab facility, and it caught up with him last night. They had to give him a bit of Ativan to help him out, his pulse was racing, he was sweating, and was really having some trouble.

They were supposed to take the trach out today, but they are having trouble getting a hold of the person that is supposed to do it. It may not be out until tomorrow. He wants that out badly! He can't lay on his stomach, and that is supposedly the way he normally lays when he is sleeping. So he is having trouble sleeping with the trach in, and wants it out yesterday!

He walked to the gym today and did some exercise this morning. He will have to do it again this afternoon as well when the PT (Physical Therapist) arrives later. Dad was with him most of the night and then again early this morning to try to help him through it.

That is what I know as of now. Remember to hug your loved ones and tell them you love them.

Chris
