2 Days of Blah

Well folks, so sorry for not posting sooner. I went to Charleston after church yesterday and did not have internet service until now. Anyway, dad has had 2 days of what I would describe as "blah". He has a chest cold and it has really kind of been a drag for him. He has been sleeping a good bit and just not feeling himself. He was not able to attend church Sunday and that really, really bummed him out. He said, "I can't believe I missed seeing all those people." He has been really sad about that ever since. But he said when he woke up Sunday, he just didn't feel like he could come feeling the way he did and afraid he might catch something on top of the cold. Today mom and Pam said he was also very, very quiet and withdrawn. He did not have the strength to even stand to do his walking. He did do some therapy - but very limited. So please pray with us that whatever is causing dad to feel this way, whether it's just the cold, or maybe it's some discouragement, or whatever. . . please pray with us that God will just get rid of it and help dad to get back the energy and determination he had last week! We don't want him to regress - we want him to progress! Pam did say he ate really well for them today though. . . he enjoyed some of mom's home cooking. So that is probably going to help get stronger. Mom is doing well, keeping rested, while spending time off and on through out the day with dad. I will take her for her stress test Friday morning and then she returns to the heart doctor again on March 10th.

Please try to stop and see dad if you can - since he didn't get out this past weekend, I think he could really use some encouragement from some personal visits throughout the week! Remember - he is in Room 147A now. Thanks everyone!
