HAROLD MADE IT THROUGH THE NIGHT...

WITHOUT ANOTHER STROKE- HE HAS NOT SLEPT HARDLY AT ALL AND THAT IS BOTHERING HIM- HE USUALLY SLEEPS IF HE SITS DOWN MORE THAN 2 MINUTES- HE DIDN'T SLEEP AT ALL YESTERDAY-
VERY LITTLE LAST NIGHT-
THEY CANNOT GIVE HIM ANYTHING TO SLEEP BECAUSE IT MAKES IT HARDER TO DETERMINE WHETHER HE IS STROKING AGAIN OR ITS THE MEDS-
I SPOKE TO THE NURSE ABOUT HIS DIET- WHICH IS SOFT- AND SHE SAID WE CAN COOK HIS FOOD AND THEY CAN STORE IT THERE AND THEN WARM IT UP WHEN ITS TIME TO EAT-
HE IS ON A VERY LOW SODIUM DIET AND THE HOSPITAL KITCHEN CANNOT DO THAT THERE- THE LAST TIME THEY GAVE HIM TOO MUCH SODIUM AND HE WAS RIGHT BACK IN THERE TO HAVE THE FLUID TAKEN OFF OF HIS HEART- HE HAS CHF-
THEY ARE GOING TO POST ON HIS DOOR AND LIMIT VISITORS TODAY- BY MY REQUEST AND HERS- SINCE HE NEEDS TO GET HIS REST- HE IS TOTALLY WORN OUT BY ALL OF THIS-
HE IS TALKING MORE AND HIS SPEECH IS IMPROVED OVER YESTERDAY BUT THE PARALYSIS ON THE RIGHT SIDE IS UNCHANGED-
MORE LATER-
