Sunday

Most of my update tonight is second hand, from Mom and nurses.

Dad was hard at it before breakfast this morning. He walked with a walker 110 feet and took a shower. The shower was probably a huge lift for Dad.

Mom got there about 9:30 am. Dad's voice was much stronger today and he read the newspaper. Mom said that the lunch was a little meager and she is going to supplement tomorrow, maybe an Ensure shake.

I got home from work in time to see the Cardinals lose the Superbowl with the 100 yard interception return just before half. Charlotte and I let the "Boss" entertain everyone while we went to the hospital. When we got there Dad was sleeping soundly with the halftime show playing on the tube. We thought he might be just dosing but he didn't rouse at all. I went out and got an update from the nurse. She said that his vitals all looked good and that he slept better last night. I left him a note on the slick board and we left him resting peacefully.

I will see him in the morning before work and see if I can get with the PT and keep the ball rolling on the activity front. I will also take a fresh batch of emails and comments since Dad seems to be up to reading again.

God is good!
