Transition and Training

It has been a difficult time for Tony to adapt to a new environment. But time heals so many things and he has finally started to settle in. Tony's new Dr is fantastic and we had a care meeting that went very well. Tony has even been more agreeable since that meeting. I am told that he continues to progress his OT tells me that his right side is really being affected right now and I can see it.. He is tired all the time and struggles to stay awake when I am there and often when I arrive he is sleeping in his chair. We have some great new volunteers and the Care Team is finally getting it that Tony isn't just a 'old' person who isn't in his right mind. He has ALS and can't speak not that same thing. Tony is finally letting the new caregivers in and has started to joke and laugh with them. It is so good to see. Trust takes time....
