Back at Rehab

We made it back to Rehab today! Praise God! His catscan looked good and his blood levels (INR) were at 2.2 when he left the hospital and that is right where they want them. Dad got to the Cork Street Rehab facility early in the afternoon. He went down for afternoon therapy and all the therapists were happy to see him again. They were impressed with his progress since he was last here. He is still having some problems with nausea when moved around a lot and got sick several times while there - so they may try to use a patch tomorrow to help with motion-sickness. His rehab doctor came to see him this evening and was very impressed with the improvement on how he is moving his left side - he made him do it twice just because he was so thrilled. I am here visiting him now - he got lucky - so to speak because he was supposed to have a room mate but that person had to be taken back to the hospital - so we have a room to ourselves afterall. Dad is laying here in his blue PJs watching tv and he looks so comfy and so much like himself. I can just see so much improvement of his overall demeanor. He is definitely up for visitors again - he's missing his company of friends! We are looking forward to seeing dad's progress - if he can get this motion sickness contained - he will really be ready to work hard downstairs. Thanks so much for praying us thru that "scary week" at the hospital with the pulmonary embolisms and bladder infection - it was just like I told dad in the ER that day he arrived back there - "we were just there because God had to show those doctors what else was wrong with him". God did that and they fixed it and now- we are back where we were 11 days ago. . . only this time we are in a better mental state, stronger physically and ready to start getting down to business.
