Whew! It has been a very busy, yet productive day. The hematologist returned to state that he found something curious with Allan's blood work, and that he wanted to repeat a lab tomorrow. Allan might have a problem with his blood clotting. If that is the case, then he will likely be put on coumadin. We'll know more tomorrow. His Doppler study was negative, so there are no clots in the legs. Yay!
Allan has been obsessing over LSU football (anyone surprised by this???). He finally was able to say "LSU" tonight. He was mixing up the letters earlier. Big improvement. He also was able to say that LSU was playing Alabama, and that their color was red. He still refers to Saban as "that little man".
Btw, if you ever need a partner for charades, Allan is the best with gestures. FYI.
The rehab doctor came by today as well. He put in a referral to Baylor for inpatient rehab (BIR). Looking forward to being closer to home and my babies. We should know more tomorrow when someone from Baylor comes out to assess him. He should also move from the ICU to the floor tomorrow.
I would like to thank my sweet friend Cindy. Once again, she let me shower at her place tonight. Full spa treatment again. Thanks a ton!
I will update you all again tomorrow.
He does love them Tiger mens!

ReplyDeleteAllan my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Glad to hear you are progressing. Go LSU!!!
ReplyDeleteBIR is awesome!!! Loving that he will go there, he will be in great hands! Tell him if he gets a student (there are lots of grad students who get to rotate there--I was one) to feel free to harass them, it's all part of it! ;) He should love that! I'm loving the card description & that I know the exact card! How fun to have Allan to work with, hard to tell if he's cognitively sound or messing with you! Love getting good updates!
