Morning Report from Dad

Well I know dad is having a good day because he had mom call me to tell me the latest news on him so I could post it on the blog! I spoke with him also and his voice sounded better as well. Mom said he looked so handsome - he had just shaved himself and did a very nice job. They gave him a pill for the gout in his foot last night and already his foot is feeling better. He is in the middle of therapy now - mom said he almost got sick during it but probably just from all the moving around they were doing with him. The doctors have decided to keep dad in the hospital thru the weekend to monitor his blood levels before sending him back to rehab - the levels are almost where they want them - but they will not take any chances on discharging him to rehab until they are sure. So actually - I think dad is relieved. He is still a little worried about all that happened to him this week (no wonder!) and the few extra days in the hospital will boost his confidence and prepare him better to begin the hard work next week back on Cork Street. Last night he was pretty fixated on the move and who was taking him and all the hard work ahead and was he really ready - and what about the gout - and so on. Now mom said he just wants to know who is coming to see him tonight! I'll post later if there is more news...thanks for checking in today!
