Mom and I arrived to see Dad at 10 am on Monday, and he was fast asleep in bed. We heard from his OT that he had already had 3 therapy sessions that morning, and was falling asleep in the third one with her, so she let him take a nap. She also told us she could see that his standing was better since she saw him last Friday. That was encouraging. We let him sleep for a while, but I wanted to visit with him before I had to head to the airport so I woke him up. We convinced him to get out of bed, because I hadn't seen him walk yet. He got up with a little assistance, and walked pretty well (with a walker) to the bathroom. Its great to see him making strides. Almost every time I saw him during the week he made visible improvement.
Mom will be following up with a couple of facilities this week in preparation for his move this weekend. We want him to go to the place where he'll get the best rehab he can, especially since he's making such great gains already. We'll let you know how this week goes and where he'll be going from here.
