Ralph did not sleep well but was not vomiting. He was able to eat Cream of Wheat, orange slices, and a 6 oz. chocolate milk shake for breakfast, but that did not stay down. He showered and was given a medicine, before lunch, in an effort to keep his lunch down. He ate beef vegetable soup, mandarin oranges, and crackers after he took a shower. The medicine must have worked! He took it before dinner, as well, and as of 8pm, all is in his stomach! PT walked 11 laps with him…a new audience to hear all about baseball teams that he coached and on which he played. He refused therapy on his shoulder. An orthopedic surgeon is going to evaluate his shoulder.
He took phone calls.
His only expectations are to walk, fill out his own menu (which he hates to do…haha), wear his mask out of the room, shower, do his shoulder exercises, and try to eat.
As of now, everything is going as predicted. He has not hit rock bottom, yet. Once he does, his health will begin to improve! The nurse encouraged him by stating that he will be pleasantly surprised as to how fast he will feel better>>>KEEP ALL FINGERS CROSSED!
