Day Three

Day 3 was a bit rough.  When Brian got in the wheelchair to do his cycles of sitting up for 15 min. and reclining for 2 min., he had trouble with his blood pressure.  Brian felt light headed sitting up, so his time in the chair was less.  The doctor said this is common with spinal cord injuries. Brent and Laura worked with Brian to get the communication device up and running. The device is operated by Brian's eye movements. About the time they had it figured out, Brian needed to be repositioned.  We will try again tomorrow. The weekends are more of a time to relax for the patients.  Brian will be back at it with therapies tomorrow.
