What a great post for today! Both Jaima and Jacki called to tell me what a great day Dad was having. Jacki was completely amazed by the progress he has made in the 11 days since she left. He is up and about walking with his walker as he pleases. His speech therapy went REALLY well today. One of the speech therapist told Dad that she had seen him on Wednesday and could not believe the change between today and then.
Jacki was with Dad all day and said he was lucid and "the old Dad" all day. What wonderful news! He was even able to remember the visitors he had the day before - this is a first. All of these signs are wonderful news. We are of course, still worried about other health issues -the swelling in his legs, the blood clot, etc., but all the progress is in the right direction. I am very excited to continue receiving great news.
Mom also checked out of the hotel on Friday and will be staying at home now. Jacki and Sean will be there through March 2nd, and I will arrive on Feb 27th and stay through March 8th. Mom did enjoy a bit of time away today and attended Mickey Mouse Clubhouse with Jaima and her girls. I'm sure this time away was a great break and a special time with her grand-daughters.
And on a lighter note, Jacki's husband Sean is going to be working with Barney to make him a house dog. What a way to spend spring break, heh? Of course, Dad thought this topic was quite amusing - I would expect no less. Dogs in Pender don't live in the house now, do they?
