Dad got back to work today - his work being his therapy! His foot was still swollen and sore, but his therapist worked with it and helped him with exercises to reduce that swelling...things that will increase the circulation in his foot to hopefully get more blood flow going and reduce the swelling. . . since he had been sick over the weekend and with his foot sore, they had a "light" day. . . but that was perfect to get him back in the swing of things. We stopped by and had his blood drawn on the way out after therapy. I'm anxious to see if his blood levels have changed . . . I hope they have increased so that we can decrease his coumadin. . . i should know by the end of tomorrow. His cold is all but gone. . . just a few coughs here and there. After therapy he got into his recliner for the day til my brother David came. David was working on the bathroom tonight and my Uncle Tommy comes tomorrow to do some additional work on it.
Good news for mom - she has decided she will continue to work out at the Wellness Center even beyond her final day of Cardiac Rehab. She is going to go over tomorrow and meet with them about getting her program setup to start next week. I think she is excited about it and I know that dad is very glad she is continuing it. We really notice how much it helps mom and gives her a chance to get out and do something for herself to keep herself healthy too. Yeah mom!
I'll touch base back when I hear how the blood tests go! Love to all and thanks again for your love support and continued prayers!
