DAY 11 • Friday, Oct. 26 AM

It's good to be out of ICU, but still trying to get dad to settled on 2nd floor Neuro Unit. He has been pretty disoriented- not making a whole lot of sense. But that could be because he was up from noon yesterday until 9pm and then only slept about 3 hours. We spoke with his neurologist this morning and she is having him evaluated today or as soon as possible to see if he can be a candidate for the Winchester Rehab intense 3 week program. . .that is so important that he gets in there. Today is probably not a good visiting day for dad because they did a catscan of his stomach because it appears so swollen and they believe it is bowel related. Today they will be trying to help him with that - so he may be a little uncomfortable. Here's the honest truth friends - dad is stable, he's not in a critical medical situation anymore. . . but we need your prayers more than ever to get him thru this phase of therapy. The doctor says the damage is pretty significant and in her clinical view - it's likely he will not have much meaningful movement on the left side again. But that's where our faith in God has to kick in. . . we need to believe for a miracle - we know that God is not done with Dad yet. He has way too many more people that he needs to be a positive influence on and I believe that thru aggressive therapy - that dad can do amazing things! Phillipians 4:13 - I can do all things thru Christ who strengthens me.
