An "OK" Day

Dad has had a pretty OK day today. Not as good as yesterday. . . but he was just so tired today. Probably it's all catching up to him with this new routine and additional time in therapy. He did participate in all skills of therapy today and even though his blood pressure was a little low, after a quick nap on the therapy table, he was able to finish his afternoon sessions. Mom says he has been sleeping ever since they brought him back around 4:30. Hopefully he'll get a good enough nap to feel like eating his dinner and staying up for a bit in case folks come to see him tonight. Please feel free to visit him. . . and mom. His dinner time is around 6pm - so by 6:30/6:45pm. . . he is ready for company. I am sure that Sunday he will not have any therapy and would love some company! If you want to bring him and mom a snack or something that is non-perishable to the room, that's fine too. I think we all feel pretty good about the decision to have dad participate in this Rehab program. . . I am extremely impressed with his therapists. They seem to have a real desire to see dad reach his full potential - maybe its because some of them know dad and maybe remember him from his days serving in the community in so many different ways. Whatever it is, I really feel like this team of professionals will be very successful with dad - what a blessing they have been in just 3 days!

Thanks for thinking of us and checking in today!
