Discharged from therapy causes sadness

Today when we took dad to therapy - I was expecting to get his next week's schedule for at least his physical therapy - since we had not been re-evaluated on that recently - but to my surprise, after I dropped him and mom off, the therapists came out and asked for a meeting with them in 15 minutes and they proceeded to tell mom and dad that they didn't feel dad was making significant enough progress in therapy to justify to medicare the continuation of his sessions. UGH! It's very difficult to hear those words - especially because not all patients heal at the same rate as others and as we all know - dad's stroke was so not typical. But none-the-less, it is what it is... and no arguing on my part was going to change anything. I was a bit dissappointed that they didn't schedule an appointment with me to share this - today was the first time mom decided to go along with us and so she shooed me away after we arrived saying she would wait with him til they came out for him - then she would work out while he was in therapy. Well instead, they came out 15 minutes late and announced they needed to see her to talk about the future. Oh my, what a day. So I took dad home and we talked about everything and then prayed about it and then that's when he broke down and bawled - he cried for a long time. I went to get mom at the wellness center because she stayed to finish her workout and when we got back he was still crying and saying he was a failure. I told him it was okay to have a day of mourning but tomorrow - to turn his sadness over to God. It's all in God's hands now - none of us know the what the future holds, only God does but I do know that he saved him from this terrible stroke and we do see that dad is getting healthier now not sicker. We will trust in God and keep our faith in Him - now that all the therapists are out of the way. . . who knows, maybe it will be time for a second miracle in dad's life. But whether dad ever walks again or not, I know that his life here on earth will still be used mightily by our God - our plan now is to continue to work hard on therapy at home, start using the shower (ironically the shower chair arrived today). . . and wait and see what God has in store for the days, weeks and months ahead. Thanks for your continued prayers and support! We love you all!
