Harold's doing ok tonight- he had some confusion and it cleared. Didn't know why he was there and why his right side wouldn't move.

He is scheduled for an echo of the heart this morning to see if there are more clots in the heart.

Then he will see the neurologist and we will know more from his evaluation.

The nurse said the normal stay for a stroke patient is one week and they do have an in hospital therapy program he go into after this depending on what the dr orders.

I asked that they change the IV to something will less sodium- his now contains 450 mg per bag and he gets 3 a day- which places him over his 1000 mg limit per day on the IV alone not counting any in his food.

They allowed us to make his food and put it in the fridge there for him. The dinners we made contain 0 sodium. The hospital cannot provide a low sodium diet for him.

Steve is going in to his apt this morning and grabbing his shaver for him before he goes on up there.
