Wednesday, May 30

Today has been a stable day, no marked improvements, but he's still doing really well.

Mordy was brought to an X-ray exam in the morning that required him to move around a lot and be put into unnatural positions.  After that he became increasingly dizzy and nauseous.  A few good friends stopped by to visit, but they had to be very short visits, since he was so tired.  He slept a good part of the late morning and early afternoon, and woke up feeling much better.

VISITORS: if you want to visit, please don't just "drop by".  Mordy was so tired today that having more visitors would have been too taxing.  We're really limited in the number of people who can come at any given time, so if you'd like to come, please email GetWellMordy@gmail.com

His x-ray showed nothing abnormal, and he also had a CT scan that also showed nothing abnormal, so all of that is good news.  Mordy's healing well.

We hope that he'll be moved to JFK acute rehab tomorrow (Thursday)

    I am glad all is improving. I must admit, i am friendly with Michelle the NP for the stroke team and she said all was going well.

    Rav Mordy, keep on recovering. We can come over to JFK on Saturday and bring Shabbat lunch. Let us know of any food preferences or aversions.

    JFK has one of the best stroke rehabs in the country. He will be in good hands and it sounds like he is well on his way!

    Motek and Mordy, My prayers are with you and your family. My father had a stroke a few years ago and has made considerable progress since then. Mordy will make even more progress, he is young. Send him my best.
