You know how hard it is to ask for help to go to the bathroom? Well...in the wee hours of the morning (I'm guessing around 4 a.m.) Ray decided he didn't need help and was trying to get himself and the I.V. pole into the bathroom when he lost his balance and fell. Worse than that, he thought no one would find out if he just got himself back in bed; which he was able to do without any problem. No one found out until I came in around 9:00 to help him shower. He obviously hadn't looked in the mirror. Praise God! No broken bones, but his jaw is swollen (hit the chair) and one of his shoulders is a massive bruise. His ego is also pretty sore and bruised. One of the nurses and I chewed on him for about 15 minutes. (I was ready to beat him!) I think he was afraid he was going to need more than his jaw x-rayed by the time we got finished.
Poor guy. He's having a tough time. High fever still a problem as soon as the Tylenol wears off, it's back up to 103+. Tonight they're adding another antibiotic (3rd) to his regimen. Still eating pretty good, even though "nothing taste good." This too shall pass, right?
Love you all,
Kim

This will pass...
I'm sure he didn't want to bother anybody...It is hard being an adult and having to ask for help for the "little things."
Food just can't taste good when your mouth has dirty penny taste.
Love you guys!

Oh guys this is so sad, it would have to be hard to ask for help. Hang in ther Ray we are all pulling for you, but ask for help! We all know you have been generous with helping others now it is your time to ask.
