The potential of Monday!


Good news keeps on coming. Dad had a great dinner last night, a great breakfast this morning, and is sitting and eating lunch with Mom for the first time in almost 4 weeks. He slept solidly through the night (first time for that too) and is feeling great.

Good news from the doctors this morning. If all continues to go well, Dad will be going home on Monday! They will want him to come in for a follow up appointment on Tuesday and again on Friday. If all goes well there then we can begin a discussion on heading back to Tucson!!!!!

Today and tomorrow will be a trial for Dad, taking all pills by mouth and getting up and moving like he was home. Here is a picture of Dad, fully dressed and waving his cane in his best "get those kids off my lawn" pose. He is so happy.
