MERRY CHRISTMAS ! ! !
It really was a Happy Day at our house.... Dad was having a great day and really enjoyed himself; I brought him to my house about 12:30 and we spent the afternoon here opening Xmas presents and having dinner with Don and Bruce. Dad ate at the table with everyone, which is something we have been working on with him. Boy, the new lift sure makes the moving him around so much easier, his power chair did quite well in the driveway too. Usually Dad was quite easy to buy presents for, this year was harder, how many pairs of lounge pants does a man need?? Kathy and I got him a few DVD's and a new player for his room. Of course we had to watch "Witless Protection" with him yesterday he was laughing quite a bit at it.
This morning his OT was in, she worked with Mom and Don on using his hoyer, he feels much better in the new sling. He also opened the fridge, got Mom a soda and took it to her. Takes a little adjusting with his buggy, but he figured out how much to move and still be able to reach the handles. We are trying to get him to the point where his chair and recliner are where he is during the day and his bed is sleep only. Like I said we are trying, seems to be a battle he doesn't want to lose though.
I hope you all had a Safe and Happy Christmas, and enjoy your Holiday season....
Please remember him in your prayers and thoughts through the day........
Love to All;
