Rehab Ups and Downs

Karl was taken to the Memorial Rehab location around 5pm on Sunday, June 9th. He spent the day very tired and not eager to do much physical activity. Aside from another restless night, Karl was found to be anemic and was given Reglan for 3 days to increase the level of red blood cells in his body. He did not have much of an appetite and very low energy. But at least he was out of the hospital and now in a location to help him work towards getting better.

Monday was another rough day for Karl. The doctors decided a blood transfusion would be best to help with his anemia. This took 4 hours. He still received visits from PT and OT today- although they were not able to get too vigorous as Karl is still very weak. Not interested in eating very much again today. Trying to rest and regain his strength- will hopefully be strong enough to get out of bed tomorrow.
