His mental status examination was severe confusion with lethargy, alternating with some short-lived motor restlessness in which he picked the tubes or would pull and hold on to his tracheostomy mask line. He never really pulled his tracheostomy tube or any of his IVs. He has not pulled his PEG or his Foley catheter. His cranial nerve examination is remarkable for poorly visualized fundi. The patient was moving and restless, and at other times, too lethargic to cooperate. Blinks to threat, both eyes. Pupils are equal and reactive. I did not see any evidence of third nerve palsy, and the patient has no asymmetry of his face that I could judge. He was uncooperative with oral evaluation of the pharynx. Tongue appeared midline in the mouth. No carotid bruits but auscultation obscured by tracheostomy sounds, tracheostomy in place. Motor examination shows the patient to be equally resistant to any sort of passive movement in both arms, in a gegenhalten or paratonic rigidity style. There was some decreased withdrawal to pain on the right side suggestive of a mild underlying right hemiparesis. Reflexes were absent in the ankles, 1 at the knees, 1 in the arms, and he has a positive palmomental. Toes are nonreactive. Limb ataxia could not be judged and gait was not attempted.
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION: VITAL SIGNS: Temperature 98.5 degrees, pulse 86, respirations 18 and blood pressure 154/82.

He is concrete in his abstractions. Short-term recall is very poor for information about his hospitalization. Prior levels of function are declined, even his prior graduation history from college. His language is a little bit dysarthric. Insight into his condition is moderately impaired. He is concrete on abstractions and similarities. Cranial nerves: He has a history apparently of alternating exotropia. It looks like that is what it is rather than internuclear ophthalmoplegia, but he does have a left APD. Disk is pale on the outside. The pupils are reactive and the left pupil is slightly larger than the right. He has flattening of the right face but intact sensation, spastic gag, and intact sensation in the palate and midline tongue. Carotid examination is unremarkable.

He has decreased proprioception in both hands and both feet. Vibration is diminished to the knees. He has moderate ataxia on finger-to-nose. Legs are not tested due to weakness. Gait was not attempted but he has moderate impairment in trunk control, though he does have some trunk control and sits reasonably well on the scooter chair. He has significant truncal ataxia.

PERRLA. EOMI. No APD. There is conjugate gaze. She does not have raccoon eyes. Cannot appreciate any gross step-off. TMs were clear bilaterally. No gross bleed. Nose is nontender on evaluation presently. NECK: Soft and supple without JVD or bruit. She does have mild submandibular lymphadenopathy present. It is nontender however. It is bilateral and symmetrical. She has fair range of motion. She does have a soft collar brace on at this point of time. It is more for comfort of the patient at this point in time.

CHEST: Had slightly diminished breath sounds bilaterally at the bases. No gross rhonchi, rales or wheezes. Normal PMI. ABDOMEN: She has a large abdominal wound with wound VAC in place. Black sponge dressing in place. It is set to 125 mmHg. No present drainage at this time. She has bilateral casts on upper extremities as well as one on lower extremities, short leg walking cast. There appears to be some yellowish drainage present as well as some slough material about the periphery of the abdominal wound itself and has appropriate tenderness and mild erythema about the edges present, 1-2 cm; however, there is no gross induration appreciated. She has numerous casts, superficial lacerations, abrasions and contusions. Hemovac to the left hip area for revision of left hip ORIF, that was discontinued prior to discharge. GENITOURINARY: Normal-appearing female. EXTREMITIES: As stated above. Proprioception is preserved; however, difficult to ascertain secondary to pain in the left lower extremity. Capillary refill and nail beds appear to be pink and appropriate. Motor is intact in all extremities. NEUROLOGIC: Neurologically, I cannot appreciate any gross deficits at this time. However, this is difficult secondary to numerous casts and obstructions on evaluation. She appears to have a small, possibly, pressure sore on the left heel, slightly violaceous in color. There is no skin breakdown. It is no fluctuant. It is not soft or mushy. Cannot appreciate gross heel-to-toe at this point in time secondary to casting. The patient is not able to ambulate around at this point in time, as she likely is nonweightbearing on the left lower extremity. Cranial nerves do, however, appear preserved bilaterally.
