06/17/2012 - Update

Hello again from the downtown Odessa resort hospital ;-)....

Rob had another long day (my shift). Time was spent on his comfort level, moving pillows, adjusting the bed, moving him from side to side etc. He is feeling some phantom pain (which is expected). They added on some meds for anxiety and sleep. The anxiety med seemed to calm him down quite a bit and he was able to get some short but frequent naps. He hardly ate anything through the day despite us trying to coax him. His sodium levels continue to drop and that is a concern so continued fluid restrictions.

The night (Donna's shift) was the start of his sleeping meds. After a few hours of comfort level challenges he was finally able to get some sleep around 3am.
