August 7 – Day 727

Joyce had a pretty good weekend. She continues to do her exercises and her out patient therapy is going fine. Next week she will start her physical therapy as her evaluation was completed this week. She has been having a lot of coughing episodes lately. Last night she was up to about 1AM with coughing had to change her once about 11 PM. Other than that no other issues to report. I told Joyce if taking care of her is what she did with our girls she is one super woman and I salute her and it made her get emotional but Mothers like Joyce who had to raise the girls when I was deployed she is one special woman and I am humbled before her.

August 4 – Day 724

Joyce had a good day. She did all her exercises and she had her physical therapy evaluation that went well and the goals are set to help Joyce get back to using her walker and working and muscle tone in her neck and legs. She was a little tired we got in the car her legs seem to be buckling so I had to use a lot more of my strength to help Joyce but I reminded that she has to help. Her night was great she slept well all through the night without any issues.

July 31 – Day 720

Joyce had a weekend. She continues to do all her exercise. Joyce had a pretty calm weekend no issues to report. Her coughing was very minimal and her mood was good throughout the weekend. She slept well except Friday night where she had a bad coughing episode at bedtime and she threw-up a couple of times and after that she settled right down and she went right to sleep. It was not due to her feeling ill it had to do with excessive saliva which caused the coughing episode.
