1:05pm
At about 9pm last night, Taylor began to complain of being achy and having a sore throat. The Nurse checked, and his fever was 99. He was given Tylenol and was asleep by 10pm.
I checked with the Nurse at 6:30am today and she said he did OK until around 5am, when he woke up complaining of being achy. She gave him something and he went back to sleep.
When we got there at 9am today to take him to the ENT appointment, he was still asleep so we cancelled the appointment until he feels better.
5:50pm
Taylor still doesn't feel well. He's been given some medication throughout the day to minimize the aching, but he's about over being sick.
We spent the day with him, taking turns as we worked around work schedules.
At 2pm it was decided that he needed to be weighed. Not sure why that couldn't wait until he felt like climbing out of bed and into a wheelchair, but that's just how things go sometimes. He did gain 3 pounds since last week, but it still 24 under where he was the day of the accident.
The speech therapist worked with Taylor while he was in bed today. That is something he can do without much bother. She gave him some pureed chicken, and he ate twice the amount he normally has. She said he's doing real well, so hopefully his throat muscles are strengthening to well enough that he can pass the thin liquid test the next time he has a swallow study done.
