Hi all -
Kate traveled back to VA last night, and the rest of the FL crew was pretty beat after a very busy, long day yesterday, so no one got around to writing an update last night. I'll do my best to give today's report from MA!
I spoke with BJ a little while ago, and Dad is having a super day. He's very responsive, talking a lot, and even got a joke that the neurosurgeon told and smiled and laughed out loud! I can't tell you how great that makes all of us feel. We all know how Dad likes stories and jokes, so to see (or in my case hear) that he understood one and found it funny shows us that Dad really is still Dad! He's also been moving around, and was able to clasp both of his hands together. He picked up a card and took it out of the envelope. These are all things we haven't seen yet, so we're encouraged.
Mom and BJ visited a few few rehab/skilled nursing facilities yesterday, and plan to see some others today. All are very close to Mom and Dad's condo, which is helpful. Mom has been pleased with what's she's seen so far. We're all glad to hear that, since she was concerned about what they might find, given her experience working at some similar types of facilities up here.
Please continue to pray for Dad's recovery. We know we have a long road ahead, but the doctors are pleased and the signs thus far are encouraging, and we are all looking forward to the day when Dad is 100% again!
