Dad did great during speech and physical therapy this morning. He is following all commands!! They put his speaking valve in, but we weren't able to get him to talk. Hopefully soon!!!! He played catch with his physical therapist and kicked the ball for her some. He tires very easily. Now he is sitting in a cardiac chair beside me and we are watching CNN (imagine that!).
We are still on the 10th floor at Baptist. Dad was accepted to the Baptist "Recoup Care" (it's a step down from the Baptist Rehab), but we are still waiting for a room. Since he has MRSA and is in isolation, he has to have a private room. Until then, we will stay here.
His procedure has been changed to next Tuesday, the 12th. We aren't sure of the time yet, but I will keep everyone posted.
Thanks again for all the thoughts, prayers, phone calls, texts, cards, emails and on and on. It means so much to all of us. I told Dad when I was in Heber last week a lady at the post office and the bank (after they found out who I was) asked me how he was doing and I didn't know either one of them!!!! He smiled soooo big and said, "Really??!!!??". We just tell you how much it all means to us!!!!!
