Good morning everyone,
It is another sunny day in Chicago and we have great news this morning. At some point today dad gets to move up to rehab. Yeah!!! He's coughing up a lot of yuck again today and we aren't sure what that is all about, but the nurse acts like thats a good thing. Its gross though. His tongue is still bothering him. They say he has ulcers all over his tongue and the inside of his mouth and he may have thrush too. I think that is fairly common, but very uncomfortable. I am not sure if it is wishful thinking or confusion, but he keeps thinking that he will get to go home. He knows he is going to rehab, but for some reason thinks it will only be for a week or so. The lady from rehab told him yesterday he would need to stay atleast 3 to 4 weeks and we have been reminding him that he would need to stay for that length of time, but he is just having a difficult time accepting it. Rehab is a much more colorful, happy place, so we are hoping that he likes being up there. He has come such a long way. Thank you for all of your prayers! They have helped him and us so much.
It is a bittersweet day for us here. Although my dad is doing so well, we know some of our friends and "family" are hurting back home. Our friend, Beth Stevens, needs prayer for her family. Her mother, Glenda Mitchell, was lifelighted early this morning to Evansville hospital because she was unresponsive. She was being hospitalized for pneumonia. They think she has acute respiratory distress syndrome and may have suffered from a mild heart attack and stroke. She is responding a little to sound now and is turning her head. Please pray for Glenda, Beth, and her entire family! This is a very scary time for them and they need many prayers! Thank you!
Delores- Dad said that Van could go ahead and go to the doctor without him if he needs to:)
Thanks to the golf course guys for buying dad a membership for a whole year! That is the best gift this guy could ever get (besides being healthy) and it was really, really considerate and very kind! He appreciates it so much. Hopefully he can get that balance and swing back!
People have been so wonderful to us. We are very blessed to have such wonderful people in our lives and we don't know how to thank you all enough. Please know that we appreciate you all so much.
Love,
Cejae & family

Cathy,
ReplyDeleteI knew when I met Cejae she was a jewel but you deserve a huge hug for doing such a great job with her. Of course, your son is great too I'm sure...but Cejae is the bomb and I've not met him...so this is all about her ;) And in my experience as a little sister, it's not all it's cracked up to be...applause seems start at the top ;)So great job Cejae and Cathy & John.. you should be very proud!
Glad to hear prayers are being answered and things seem to be going well. I'll continue to pray for you & your family.
