Dad told me to title this blog entry "waiting for the bus." He went outside for a little walk/roll this afternoon to get some fresh air. He looked funny sitting out in front of the hospital as if he was waiting for the bus. He would love to be on a bus on his way home, but he's not quite there yet.
He had 4 hours of therapy today. He walked very well with a walker today. He is still learning to eat slower. This is a work in progress and a big struggle for him. Tonight he pretty much ate like a thrashing machine. He got choked a lot. He was aware that he was eating too quickly but apparently did not care. He was in a hurry to get to bed.
The stitches were taken out of his right eye and it is now open. He says he can see better, but there is still a glaze on his eye. He said that he has double vision up close, but he is able to see better at a distance. He had visitors today. His sister, my Aunt Gaila, and her friend came to see him as well as his nephew, Geremy. Aunt Gaila thought dad looked really good and that he had improved a lot since she had seen him last.
Dad was worn out tonight and was fast asleep by 6:15 p.m. He worked really hard today and had a good day. He is really missing everyone. He appreciates all of you so much as do all of the rest of us. Thanks for everything. I will be heading back tomorrow so mom will take over the blogging again.
Dear Crosses:
ReplyDeleteLoved the waiting for the bus picture-you are getting closer to catching that bus. Only 8 more days. Some devotions I've sent haven't really fit but I think today's is perfect.
"Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in My name, I will do it." John 14:12-14 Reminds me of the song "Glory to His Name."
Have a great Tuesday! We love and miss you.
