Well, its been a few days since Dad relocated to HealthPark. It was a bit of a bumpy transition, just because the folks at HealthPark want to evaluate Dad on their own, and that took a little time. Things are all straightened out now, and Dad is having physical, occupational and speech therapy on a regular basis. From what I hear, HealthPark has lots of activities going on all the time for their patients. I think Dad will enjoy having some different things to do. Its also nice that Sydney is allowed inside to visit, and we can take Dad out when he's not tied up with therapy.
Today, between his appointments, Mom, BJ and Heather took Dad out for a ride. They stopped by and said hi to some folks at the condo, then picked up lunch and headed over to Aunt Jean's where they sat in the tv room and ate together. They brought him back in time for his PT appointment, which is where he is as I write this. He is currently walking around, with PT by his side, without a walker! Very exciting!
I'm hoping in the next day or so we will have a guest blogger. If we do, I'll send an email because it will be special, so keep your eyes peeled! In the meantime, here's a pic BJ just took :)
So Happy for you all! Dad looks terrific! Deb you too!

Hi Brad, Debbie, and family! We were so sorry to hear about Brad's stroke and soooo happy that he is doing much better and on the road to recovery. We were just in Nantucket this past October and I always think of Brad and Debbie as they first introduced me to this magical island. Tom has come to love it as much as I do. Brad and family, you are in our thoughts and prayers and Brad, you were always such a hero to me when I was growing up and I will always remember all of the help and support that you gave to me. Sending you a HUGE hug and many well wishes! All the best, your friends from RI, Kathy and Tom xoxo
ReplyDeleteYou dad looks wonderful. I am so happy for all of you. I know it takes a strong person with the support of his loving family to be able to accomplish this level of recovery. God bless you all and Happy 2013. I know he will be home before you know it. Fran
