Dad was quite tired today, he said he was feeling okay, but he just didn't seem right. He did eat quite well, I was feeding him tonight. He can kind of do it himself, but his roomie had a roomful of family and there were five of us with Dad, so he asked me to help him. Dad seems to do better with out an audience. About half way through his meal and asked for the pie so he knew he'd have room. I asked him earlier if he was feeling okay, he said yes. I told him his frown wasn't showing that. He hiked his eyebrows way up.
Dad did not have any PT today, although he did some exercises on his own. He asked tonight if the "floor" (deck) was ready for him to come to my house and I assured him it was. He sure is ready to get out of the hospital. Health wise Dad is doing great, this hospital doesn't treat him as if he is sick, actually he isn't, he is healing. He shows everyone his right leg moves, he is quite proud of that. His right arm still isn't doing a thing.
He is improving, Don says that seeing Dad once a week the improvement is remarkable, seeing him daily we can see a lot of improvement constantly. I am looking at my Father with a totally new respect now after the fight he has been and will be fighting. Dad is still taking Lexapro for depression and it seems to be doing a great job.
He still needs the prayers, positive thoughts and support that everyone has been showing him so please keep them flowing his way.
Love to All;

Also anyone who would like to visit Dad; he is done with his therapies after 4pm if anyone would like to see him please do, he looks forward to company now. Please contact me for directions or call the hospital.
