Dad has had an outstanding day were Moms words a few minutes a go. In an effort to continue to build Dads strength they are having him sitting up alot. He sat up all morning. Another bright spot today: Dad was showing muscle response for the first time in his left arm. This was the first:) Dad will be having 3 hours of therapy 5 times per week. This includes occupational,speech and physical therapy. They will also be electrical stimulation to Dad left shoulder to help with the rehabilitation. We are definitely seeing progress each day. We have come to understand that big steps won't be seen each day. Baby steps each day is good too. Dad really is beginning to look like his old self. His mind is sharp and he can still talk sports. Who would have thought that he wouldn't be watching the national championship game tonight. Dad had really been watching his weight the past year,but he never estimated that he would lose over 20 pounds since the surgery. We will be adding Ensure to his diet to help build his strength also. Thanks to all who continue to think and pray for the family. Mom trully enjoyed talking with all of you at church Sunday. She has holding quite strong through all of this.
