Friday

R.J. was fairly uncomfortable during the night and started tossing and turning from 3 am on. The physical therapist came in the morning and R.J. was able to walk up and down the hallway. Tricia gave him a really good "spit" bath and cleaned him up quite well. It is apparent that his fine motor skills have been affected when he is asked to do simple tasks like brushing his teeth. Grandma Weston was able to come to the hospital to visit him for the first time today, and they enjoyed a good, but brief visit. R.J. began vividly hallucinating this afternoon, so they have taken him off the pain killers that he was on and are going to do another CT scan. He was having pain in his lower back, so they will look for any kidney damage as well. He was able to sit in the chair twice, and had half a hamburger for lunch. He continues to be quick witted and Tricia is keeping a running list of funny quotes.
