1/20 update

Hi all -

Just a quick update of what's happened the past few days. Dad and his therapists made a trip to the hospital late last week to work on going up and down a flight of stairs using only one railing. He did very well, and made it up and down 17 steps! That's more than he needs to do to get into their condo, so we're getting closer to him going home!

Yesterday BJ was there for a visit, and he and Dad went out for a ride to Fort Myers Beach and looked at some boats.  Today he and Mom went out to do some errands together, and then had lunch at a local restaurant. Mom brought his wheelchair along, just in case, but he walked everywhere with his walker. It was a lot for him, and he was tired when he went back to the rehab, but he did it!

The therapists may be going to the condo tomorrow to evaluate it and make recommendations of things we need to do before Dad goes home.

That's all for now. Hopefully we'll know more about when he may be going home early this week.
