More updates!




Dad did wonderful in all of his therapy sessions today. During OT he washed himself and shaved himself using both his right and left hands. They worked him hard in PT and he was exhausted afterwards. He did so well though. He walked with a cane and climbed stairs, among other strenuous activities. He has come so far from just a few days ago. Although he is a little self-conscious about the way he looks, he allowed me to take some photos and post them. He doesn't know I'm posting the one of him and mom, but I snuck it in. He may be mad about it later but I think it is sweet! Mom was giving him a massage while he was in his wheelchair and then he fell asleep, so she just stood there with him while he slept. It looks a little like she put him in the sleeper hold, but mom wants you all to know that she did not strangle him:) His scar is way bigger than last time, but it is healing very nicely. I just cannot believe how much progress he's made! It is truly a miracle.

  3. What a difference a week makes, huh?! You have all been to hell and back through all of this, but I am SO happy with the progress. Cejae, I sure hope you share the love in your marriage that your mom & dad share. It's beautiful, isn't it?! I absolutely love the picture of the 2 of them on here!!
