overdue update

Seems that the last several days have flown by and I have not even turned the computer on!!!

Anyways I thought I better post a quick update on my dad...

He has been slowly improving every day and his strength is returning, just very slowly.  He is able to move around a bit more and is even managing to get in and out of bed by himself, although it is very tiring for him.  Yesterday was a big day for him as the doctor at the hospital he was at agreed to send him back to the hospital at home.  This is a really big deal, especially for my mom because she can go back and forth to the hospital several times a day.

I am sure that it is also nice for him to back where there are nurses that he knows he can pester.  Two of the nurses have been good friends of mine since elementary school!!!  Also being at the hospital at home means that there will be more people who will be able to visit, which will give new faces and more things to think about.  At this point it is all looking pretty good, except for his appetite.

Glad to see an update. I know having him closer to home will be a comfort to you and your mom.
