Getting Better Every Day!

We had another great day Monday. We took dad to his doctors appointment in Winchester about his gall bladder and Dr. Boyd said at this time she does not recommend any surgery and that his gall bladder was not an issue of concern at this time. Dad did so well on the trip and talked to Pam and I the whole way. He has been very chatty ever since Sunday! He really is thinking and talking more and more like himself. We have noticed a major improvement and so had his new physician at Rehab Dr. Phares - he saw dad yesterday before we left for Winchester and he thought Dad looked much better compared to just last week! Dad hasn't stopped talking about church and how much he enjoyed it. He told his therapist yesterday she should have been there - and he went on an on about it. He keeps asking mom when he can go back to church again! That will be his inspiration every week I can tell you. He also is beginning to ask about the kids activities and maybe starting to go to some of them. Today we take him to see another Doctor in Winchester to follow up on his lung clotting episode in November, and also discuss his vena cava filter that was placed at that time. I will try to post after that trip! Thanks for your continued support and prayers - dad is coming back. . . you can see it in his eyes. If you get the chance, stop by and see him!
