The Weekend

Yesterday we dropped mom off early on our way to a photo shoot in Moorefield, then returned afterward to spend lunch with dad. He was very tired - he had worked so hard with his therapist kevin. Mom said he worked hard in the afternoon too and last night was just "pooped". I am getting ready this morning to take her up before the storm comes (whatever it ends up being!). She is going to spend the night there tonight just in case its a bad one. We are working on all the details of bringing dad home Christmas eve. We are still learning all the ropes and have much to take in over this next week. . . we are excited, yet nervous. It's a lot of work to care for dad right now and we just want to be sure we can provide him the best care - we wouldn't want our desire to bring him home to override what is safest for him. But God is continuing to work thru him and us and we have faith we can do this. The therapists say he is much better cognitively this week. He is concentrating and learning better. Please be in prayer for dads' continued progress and strength and for our family to be able to get everything done to bring dad home. The boys are meeting Sunday to build the ramps to the house - if we don't have bad weather. They may just have to concentrate on moving furniture inside the house - we need to make room for dad's equipment.

I'll give a quick post after I visit dad this morning. Be careful out there!
