Quiet Thanksgiving

We had a quiet Thanksgiving day with dad. We brought dinner up to him in the afternoon and he enjoyed eating it with some of his family. It's hard for him to sit long in the wheel chair though, so he was ready to get back in bed after eating. It takes a lot of work to sit up in that chair with his left side not yet strong enough. He was experiencing a little more pain in his leg and also in his right shoulder - the doctor thinks its spasms in the leg and just muscle aches in the shoulder. He had such a strenuous workout the day before. He rested most of the day. . . with just a few visitors. He had a very quiet day - he was frustrated he couldn't get his voice to work very well. Overall though, we had a great day together - we got him to laugh a time or two and he of course loved his time with family. We hope he has another great day at therapy - we will report later.

So nice to hear that Shug was able to enjoy Thanksgiving. Praying he gets to come home soon and maybe before Christmas.....hospital stays are not fun. Hopefully he will get to watch WVU play tomorrow!
Lots of hugs,
