Another Hard Day at Work

Dad had a good day - just minimal nausea. He did a half day of therapy and mom said he did very well. They put him in the wheel-chair at the parallel bars and they stood him up several times. He can only bear weight on the right side so he does have to have the aide of the therapists quite a bit during this exercise. Mom said he also was working on the leg machine to strengthen those muscles. He was really tired and soft spoken when Lexy and I arrived after the Christmas parade. He liked seeing Lexy in her parade costume - he really lit up. He watched the first half of the WVU game with us, but was so tired and upset about the game that he decided he would just go to bed. And with the way that game turned out - I am glad we left when we did - he will be so disappointed when he hears about it. Oh well, as much as we wanted WVU to win. . .seeing dad home at Christmas time will still be the best gift our family could ever receive - even better than a National Championship!

HI EVERYONE,
SOUNDS LIKE OUR SHUG IS COMING ALONG VERY WELL. TELL SHUG THAT THERAPY IS SOME OF THE HARDEST WORK HE WILL EVER DO BUT WILL BE THE MOST REWARDING. I AGREE WITH HIM ON THE WVU GAME LAST NIGHT I FELT LIKE GOING TO BED AT HALF TIME ALSO, BUT I WATCHED UNTIL THE BITTER END. ROY AND SETH HAVE BOTH BAGGED MULE DEER. SETH A 5X5 ROY A 6X7. THEY WERE BOTH REALLY EXCITED. THE WEATHER HAS BEEN NICE AND NOW THEY ARE RELAXING FOR A FEW DAYS. PROBABLY WILL SIGHTSEE SOME. THEY WILL BE HOME WEDNESDAY NIGHT. TAKE CARE
ROY AND TERESA
