Thursday update

About the same today, but at least not any worse, so we'll take it! Still on the 7th floor..OT and PT did evaluations and outlined a therapy plan for Dad. He has a lot of work to do in terms of therapy, but he at least appears to be remaining stable now, which is huge progress even since this past weekend.

His voice is a little stronger and clearer today and he is able to move his left hand a bit more. They also moved him to a regular diet since he is able to swallow well now.

Thanks again for the continued support..prayers, cards, thoughts, visits and generous gestures - Dad really enjoyed looking at the cards and the visits keep him motivated and his spirits high. Some have asked when to visit...anytime day or evening is fine - He needs his rest and does tire easily, but he really enjoys people visiting and you can definitely see a change in his mood when he has visitors vs when no one is here.

Thanks again - keep those prayers coming!
