Day 13

Dad was able to sleep in today, after his late night with the longhorn game. They removed the box spring of the mattress, thinking it would make it easier to get in and out of bed. Good idea in theory....but instead of getting out of bed and already be standing, now when he gets out of bed he is on his knees and has to make it to standing. So I think this idea will be short lived.

The baclofan is working better for dad as a muscle relaxant. He said he only had one small spasm last night as he got up to go to the bathroom. The spasm did not last long though. He decided not to go to Church today since he was so wiped out from the lack of sleep over the last week.

Dad came over today for caldo and the Cowboy game. We had a great lunch, jammed on Rock Bank and saw some of the game. The whole time he was pushing fluids---all in hopes to avoid IV fluids tomorrow. Let's hope it worked.
