Thursday 2/9

Everything is about the same around here.  Dad has good days and bad days.  He is having some stomach/feeding issues, but we are hopeful they will get it all figured out soon.  He has lost 10 lbs since he has been in Heber.  He has great upper body strength and they are working with him on moving himself from the bed to his chair.    He makes his way up and down the halls some.  When I went to see him Saturday morning, he was sitting up front at the nurses station keeping them in line!! =)  Mom went Saturday night and he was sitting in the lobby soaking everything in! (There were 2 cops up there due to a resident disturbance or something like that and he was watching all the action!)

I'm sorry I don't update this blog as much as I should.  Sometimes I start to write and then stop cause I'm afraid all I will do is be negative.  We still have our up and down days.  It's gotten really hard for us....especially Mom.  We were hoping things would be different by now and it's hard not to become angry that things aren't going the way we want them to.   I found some video's on my phone of Dad playing with Gracie over a year ago.  It's good to hear his voice, but then it makes it hard at the same time.   Dad is in good spirits the majority of the time and that does our hearts good.  He enjoys seeing all the familiar faces of people that stop by and hearing of people that ask about him.  I told him the other day he sure is a well liked man, and was telling him a few of the things people had said to me over the past few days.  He looked at me and said, "Bullsh*t!"  I laughed sooo hard. (then told him I didn't like those kind of words and he said well Bull then! lol) 

I can't say Thank you enough, for all of the prayers.  It means soo much to all of us.  I will try to do better with keeping everyone updated.
