thursday night

Dad has had another very good day. He was able to walk 34 steps with the walker. He is definitely looking like his old self. Dad has gained 5 lbs again in the past week. This is good news as Dad had lost 25lbs since just before surgery. It has been real nice to see all the guests that continue to visit Dad. His routine has him sitting up for very long times all during the day to build up more strength.I believe this makes it nicer for visiters also. We are having visitors interact with Dad by reading to him and work on improving his attention span. Dad will be down sizing his wheelchair soon. The bigger model is no longer needed and the small one should help Dad be able to move around with his good hand and foot. Dad was also been able to move his left arm forward and push a bean bag off the edge of table. Dad will have his consultation and fitting for radiation on Monday. The 5 day a week radiation will begin Monday February 12th. Visitors are still very welcome, we just asking that you do not visit unless you very healthy. We cannot afford to get Dad sick before radiation begins. Thanks for all you continued thoughts and prayers. Dad ended his day with thick Malt from FRANKS:)
