Update on Larry - 6/9/09

We saw the Pulmonary Specialist this morning. She read the test results and said that he was waking up at least 10 times in an hour when he didn't have the mask on. After getting tested with the mask -- he only woke up once. He also was only sleeping about 39% of the time. Oxygen level was lower than 80% which is NOT good. The mask is on order and he should have it within the week. So, once we get this mask, we are praying that this will lower his BP.

Occupational, Speech & Physical Therapies will start shortly. They will want him to come in 3 times a week to Emory. I have requested mid day appts so that we can avoid traffic so I will really need to get help transporting him to and from Emory Rehab in Atlanta. If you would be willing to do this once a week or once every couple weeks, or just once... please let me know.
