One Day At A Time- update

We are taking things one day at a time. Mom came home from the hospital yesterday. She is staying at my sister Pam's now. She needs to be keep at home for a few days so she doesn't catch anything and while they bring her blood levels back up to the safe range with her coumadin. She will see the heart surgeon April 9th to schedule her open heart surgery. She looks really good and is feeling much better, though. Dad is doing pretty good. His ankle is getting better. He is having a little trouble getting motivated - but we are keeping him focussed on working hard to get better for mom. That seems to keep him straight! He is looking forward to Easter weekend. We are hoping to take him to church Friday evening and Sunday, as well as take him to my sisters after church Sunday for dinner with the family. He is looking forward to that. Please stop by and see dad if you can this week - encourage him - make him laugh. . . we'd appreciate it and also your continued prayers!

I went to have lunch with dad and he was still in therapy! They said he had a great day and was doing excellent with his sitting balance and even sitting alone for periods of time better than before. Here is a picture i captured of him showing off for me! He ate a great lunch and was feeling really good about himself and how well all of his therapies went this morning. He couldn't wait to call mom and tell her too!
