Evening

Mark had his therapy sessions cut short today because he developed a fever of 102.5. It didn't last long and was down to 100.8 within an hour even before they gave him Tylenol. They don't mess around, they sent him for a chest x-ray, took a urine sample and tried to get blood, but I think he left his veins at Jefferson. So they hooked up his IV fluids to his peg (stomach) tube and his temp was down to normal and he was resting comfortably when I left at 7:15.

Mark has been working on his PT evaluation for the past few days. They're testing him on regular everyday movements like walking over to something on the floor, picking it up and handing it to someone. I think this is the final exam before they send him home. After his inpatient discharge he will be attending day treatment 3 days a week.
