Excellent Friday!

Hello folks! We have had a great day today. Dad's blood work from Wednesday was all good - his meds need no adjustments for now. Even though dad was heartbroken when WVU lost last night - he still made good progress today. And that was on very little sleep - he said after the game he could not get to sleep until 2am! No more Mountaineer games the day before therapy! ha ha Anyway, despite being up half the nite. . . today my dad and I succesfully did a new transfer from the bed to the chair without the hoyer lift! I was so excited - I cheered and jumped up and down. This was a huge step for us. . . the more we do this kind of transfer, the more therapy he gets at home and that will help him overall get stronger and easy to transfer. He was exhausted after therapy - he worked very very hard. But we still managed to do the board transfer back into bed! Wow-that was so rewarding to achieve that goal. Tomorrow he is looking forward to going to his grandson's birthday party at the park! That should be fun. Plus, his granddaughter Emily is coming home from WVU this weekend for a visit so he is looking forward to seeing her too. Maybe I can snap some pictures this weekend and share on the blog for everyone! Thanks for checking and keep praying with us for dad's continued progress!
