Hey Folks! Dad and mom are doing well. Mom seemed a little better today, but she still remains very very tired. Her therapy is very exhausting. When I took them lunch - I got to see her walk all the way down the hall with her walker with her therapist. She can walk around without it as well, but she only makes short trips to the bathroom and sink. She mostly just rests in between therapy, which is good. We don't want her up trying to take care of dad, she needs to get herself well. I was trying to think of something different to take them for lunch and so I stopped at Petrucci's Market across from our development. Mom & Dad's neighbor Donnie was working and he really hooked me up with some fresh cut country ham sandwiches, sweet tea, a chunk of cheese for mom and even a beautiful flower for mom. Thanks Donnie for making mom & dad's lunch so special for me. I know that he really misses mom & dad's company next door. . . we can't wait to be sitting out front watching the cars go by and having friendly neighborly conversations again with you Donnie!
Dad was proud to share with me that he sat up today - unassisted on the therapy table - for 20 minutes! I think that's a record time for him! He was really focussed. He is determined and his faith is stronger each day. He really works hard at therapy and is believing for miraculous things to come!
Looking forward to a great weekend! Not sure if mom will be up for going to church, but I am sure dad will! We have a Care Team meeting for dad next Thursday - we are going to get an update on his progress and maybe schedule a "home visit" for them to see what their home looks like and if we will need to make any changes before bringing dad home next month or whenever they determine his discharge should be... mom's Care Team meeting is scheduled for the 13th, then she sees her heart surgeon on the 14th - so I guess we'll see where she is then and determine if she is ready to come home. Right now she is content right where she is - with dad and under the care of professionals.
