Great Weekend & Great Monday!

Hey everyone. . . dad and mom had a very good weekend. Dad was thrilled that the Mountaineers won and especially excited to see his nephew Nate Sowers make an awesome tackle. . . and hear them talk about him on the tv. The rain kept them inside most of the weekend, and thenMom strained her hip muscle again getting laundry out to put in dryer on Saturday, but we "treated it" again and she was back to feeling herself again. They both made it to church Sunday and dad was his chipper self at the front door greeting everyone. He was especially thrilled that so many of his grandchildren and great grandchildren were there this week - even little 3 week old Trey made it! Today, mom felt good enough to workout at the wellness center while I took dad to therapy/rehab at 11am. Dad seems to be feeling good and strong. He had a great day at therapy he said. Which means a lot because he is always so hard on himself afterward. . . but today he was very positive and said his physical therapist felt he transfered on the board the best ever. He transferred well on the board for me too - I'm always happy when I can do the transfer on the board and it is a "clean" one. . .today it was 3 hops into the chair from the bed and when we returned from therapy it was 2 hops into the recliner! woohoo! That's about all for now - we are stable. . . moving forward and still believing for the day when dad will be more independent and mobile again! Believe with us - thanks for your prayers! love to all!
