Monday, March 9 2009 (Day 382)

Good Morning Everyone; Dad had a great weekend. Friday, instead of leaving Dad with the respite aide, Mom, Kathy and I took Dad to Meijers for a shopping trip! Dad was quite nervous at , but when we got there he relaxed and had a good time. We found a fishing pole that with a little modification he should be able to cast and reel back in. I think Dad realized that everyone wasn't going to stare at him. He did quite well maneuvering his scooter around the store and the usual obstacles.
Yesterday Kathy got him up and into his recliner and then rearranged his room, trying to get us a little more space. She asked Dad if he needed anything else he said "I need a haircut too", so that's our plan for today. I have been working a few 2nd shifts so Kathy has been helping with Dad this week.
We have been working with Mom trying to show her how to work the Van Lift and strap the chair in, hopefully she won't have to take him alone, I just want her to know how if she has too.
Mom is feeling better, I think she had a case of "cabin fever" and was getting antsy.
Please keep them in your prayers and thoughts.....
Love to All;
Skip
