The resident has cleared dad for rehab so he may be going sometime this afternoon/evening or tomorrow. The physical therapist said that he should stay in rehab for 3 to 4 weeks. Dad has some ulcers on his tongue that are really bothering him. We were able to swab his mouth with Mt. Dew but he couldn't hardly enjoy it because his mouth is so sore. Hopefully soon he can sit down and have a cold Mt. Dew after a nice long walk:) It is a beautiful day up here. We hope that it is beautiful where you are too.
He talked to Delores and Brad Jones on the phone today. He's Mr. Chatty Pants. He feels sick right now. We might have overdone it today. He went for two wheelchair rides, one of which he got to go outside. I think the outside trip might've been too much for him. Sitting up is much better for him than lying down so we have tried to encourage him to sit up and wheel around as much as possible, but we might've pushed too much. Hopefully our pushing will soon pay off though and he might start to feel better.
We hope all of you are enjoying this day. Thanks for your continuous support. We are up to 98 followers! That is awesome.

Sounds like things are going better each day. We are so thankful!
ReplyDeleteI saw something in a catalog today that I thought John would love. It was a putting green that you put in the bathroom around the stool. You can putt while you "go".
You all take care. Thinking and praying for you.

Hi Cejae, my name is Carmin Rubenacker. Don't know if you know me but your mom and dad do. Your dad has done some work for me through Cindy Cravens (hanging pictures etc). Julie Oxford has been keeping me updated about your dad until she gave me this blog site so I can check for myself. Glad to hear that your dad is doing better every day. Sounds like a long road ahead but I will pray for patience and hope his return home will be in the near future. Please let your dad know I'm thinking of him and praying for him also. Believe me, I know the power of prayer. My husband is having treatment for brain cancer and we have one treatment to go. He is doing very well and we anticipate a full recovery. We have had alot of people praying for us also. God IS Great!!!!Remind your dad of that. Take care and please tell you dad Hi for me. Carmin Rubenacker
ReplyDeleteGood Morning Sweetie!!
ReplyDeleteI am amazed at the progress he is making. Things get better everyday. Still keeping you and your family in my prayers.
Dear Cejae, I was just thinking of you and your family yesterday, and remembered that Marilyn had said there was a blog site, so we could let you know. I am praying for your dad, and it sounds to me as if the prayers of many are with you all! It is wonderful that you can be there during this time...this is the most crucial place for you to be...with your family right now! Just wanted to let you know I am thinking of you! Susan Howton

ReplyDeleteToday's devotion:
Lord, I pray that You, O God of hope, will fill me with all joy and peace and faith so that I will "abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit" Romans 15;13 Thank You that You have sent Your Holy Spirit to be my Comforter and Helper. Remind me of that in the midst of difficult times.

Love The Pritchetts have a great day!
Good Morning!
ReplyDeleteHope you had a good nights rest. Van says he will be home this afternoon and evening, so when you feel up to it and they aren't making you do things you don't want to do, give him a call.
Love to all. D
Things are sounding better and better!! We give God all the praise for that. We're so glad things are getting better for you all. I just knew that once John got some good ole Mt. Dew in him things would get better! Praying for all of you daily. Continue to heal John. Love to all of you. Randy & Cindy
