Rob's mom stayed with him last night and both got some rest but it was still a long night, he is running a high fever and the iv antibiotics are still running. His comfort is the biggest challenge as when you are unable to control your muscles yourself your body and limbs are very heavy.
He really enjoys being moved around, I would think it is like if you lay or sit in the same position for an extended amount of time without moving you get tired of it and that is what is going on with Rob. So we move his arms, legs torso as much as we can so he is comfortable. We are told that they are getting a different type of bed that will help with the moving around part.
His fever is down to 101 from a high of 103.4, which is a good thing, chest X-ray to my untrained eye looked good considering he has been laying down for 6 days now.
YEA Rob's IV has been disconnected and hep locked, he also has had various other tubes removed.
So a case worker has assigned and the hospital has submitted the case to 4 different rehab facilities in Texas. Now we wait to see which has availability for a move across the state.
Rob's fever is still up and down, with a low of 99.6 he is getting iv antibiotics on a schedule now so we should be able to get this cleared up soon.
