Hi all -
I arrived home late last night after spending most of the day with Dad at the rehab hospital. I was glad I checked my flight status before I headed to the airport. My flight was delayed 4 hours, so I got to spend a lot more time with Dad than expected. We all had a nice visit. Dad was awake and alert when BJ and I arrived in the morning. We chatted quite a bit, and Dad made sense some of the time, and other times would kind of drift off a bit. I think just having all of us visit is tiring for him.
According to the schedule posted for today, it looks like Dad's therapists are mixing things up a bit, so he has this morning to rest and will be busy all afternoon. We'll see how that goes.
Mom is on her own today and tomorrow, and Kate will arrive on Wednesday. I told Dad yesterday that Kate would be coming to see him this week, and his eyes perked up and he said "my Kate?". Sometimes we wonder how much he remembers and understands so that was pretty cool.
Once again we want to thank everyone for the prayers and support. Personally I'd like to say I've been blessed with some pretty fantastic friends who have stepped up to help me out a great deal. Special thanks to Dave for staying with my furry girls this week. I'm sure they'll miss all the attention he gave them and I'll miss the regular photo updates!
Unless dad makes some really dramatic progress in the next day or so, there probably won't be another update until Kate is there to either write one herself, or relay some info to me to write one.
Just wanted to say I was thinking of Brad. Please let him know we're all thinking of him.

ReplyDeleteI will be sure Dad hears that you were thinking of him. I've told him when you've left previous comments, and asked him if he remembers you, and he said yes! Thanks for continuing to follow his progress!
