Hi all -
I'm writing to you from the Lido deck of the Ruby Princess. We're getting ready to set sail to the Caribbean for 7 days and we're all pretty excited to get away for a bit. The last couple of months have been tough on everyone. Mom and Dad's friend Cherry is all settled in at the condo with Sydney. She'll be visiting Dad everyday and will let us know how he's doing. He had a good week: Kate and her boyfriend Jason flew down on Thursday and visited with Dad before heading to Ft. Lauderdale for the cruise. Dad has been working on strengthening his hip muscles this week. He's been walking with a limp for quite a while, and his PT feels that can get better with some targeted exercises. He's also been working on going up and down stairs while only holding onto one railing, which is what he'll have to do at the condo when he goes home.
He's improving cognitively as well. His speech therapist has been working hard to help Dad remake the connections in his brain that he's lost.
That's all for now! We'll let you know how he is when we get home!
