A Little Under the Weather

Sorry for not posting in a few days. Days & nights seem to be running together! Dad has been feeling a little under the weather since Friday. He is having some stomach pains and just feeling a little unlike himself. He does not feel he can go to church in the morning because he is just not feeling up to it. We think he just has a little bug. He did still do therapy today, but the rest of the day he rested and was just feeling uncomfortable. His is still getting stronger everyday and his therapists are happy with his progress. His mind is still very good too. He gained about 7 pounds this month and now he thinks he's going to get "fat". We told him that he needs to gain weight because he is rebuilding all that muscle he lost, but I think he just wants to cut out all the "sweet treats" that he has been enjoying from guests! ha ha

Well keep praying for dad - he really wants to gain back some independence and learn to do things for himself again. Mom is still doing well - she continues to stay with my sister or me at nighttime - I think she feels safer after the episode she had a couple of weeks ago. We'll be praying for dad to get better tomorrow and be ready for a great week in therapy. Thanks for your love and support!

Hope your dad is feeling better this week, Mary Beth. He looks really good in his new pictures. Praying he feels well enough for church next week.
Love,
