Another Good Day!

So far today, dad has had another good one! He had therapy real early today - and he was standing stronger again. He is feeling really good about that progress. He told my brother David this morning - that he is going to walk again and when he does no one will stop him! Me and David took dad to the dentist late this morning to have his one cap put back on that had come off earlier in the week. He enjoyed getting out for just a quick trip. Mom went in to spend the afternoon with him - i just talked to her and she said dad was in speech therapy and she was in the recliner with her feet propped up and playing her free-cell game. She sounded great.

Praying for another good day in therapy again tomorrow and then we'll get dad to church on Sunday again. Next week, he will see his neurologist again in Winchester on Tuesday. Keep praying with us - we are really believing for big things in the next 33 days. His original stay of 100 days is quickly coming to an end. He really wants to be further along with his therapy before leaving and able to be more independent. We are definitely going to investigate the possibility of extending his stay there - especially with mom's surgery most likely happening at the same time he would be released. If the therapist team feels he can still make progress there and the insurance company will allow for it, we might keep him there just a while longer. But of course, we still are not ruling out that a full miracle may happen this month and with dad's strength getting so much better, he could just walk right out of there on that 100th day! Let's believe for that together!

What an awesome report to hear that Shug is doing so well. We will be praying for his "walking" release. Wouldn't that be awesome! Love you all,
