Day #10


Well - Daddy used a walker and was
able to get himself around on his own a bit
today. He got a shave for the right side of his
head and looks absolutely brilliant!! His left
eye is mostly open and he is doing fantastic!!!
The raspiness of his throat is gone, though he doesn't
have his usual BOOM of a voice. Rather soft spoken just now. He got to see his grand kids today and
the look on his face when he held my youngest was just priceless!! He is eating and doing fantastic!
There are a few memory glitches, but even the ones from
yesterday are back. Meaning he forgot a few names. But today, he knew them all! We aren't worried!
He has gotten rid of a few more tubes and we got
some smiles out of him.
Still extremely tired, but compared to even a few days ago he is something of a miracle!!
I am so very grateful, because we need him desperately!

So come on over and see him!
Visitors approved!
If you wouldn't mind, just keep your visits short.
Even to just five or ten minutes. He gets
pretty tired really fast!!
Just be warned that Monday, he will be moving. Possibly to another facility. We are hoping that he will get to stay. The problem being that they don't have a bed available in the rehabilitation section until Wednesday. They have already approved him to move on he is doing so well!
You can't keep a good man down!!!
Thank you for being so understanding about the visits!
He will be so excited to see some new faces!
Again, just keep it short.
We are so grateful for all the thoughts and prayers!
