Phone Follow-Up

Per her instructions, I called Dr. Boydston's nurse today to give her an update on Davis' condition.

Do you see any CSF leaking from the site? No.

Do you see any redness or swelling? No.

How is his pain level? Seems to be low.

When you do your routine exercises with him, are you getting him up to walk around? Yes.

Is he able to walk indepentently or does he need your assistance? He needs our full assistance.

Ok, let me talk to Dr. Boydston and see if he thinks Davis is ready to progress on to more activities. I'll call you back. Ok.

Later...

Dr. Boydston wants to keep Davis' schedule as is until after you guys meet with us next Monday. He can continue to sit up for meals. You can allow 30 minutes in between each meal for sitting up time, as well. Increase that time by 30 minutes each day, as tolerated. And continue to get him up and walk around with him 3 times a day. Alrighty...
