Dad is improving in small increments each day. He has been sitting up longer and even tried to brush his own teeth! Our fear of him not knowing anyone in the rehab center compared to if he was located in Eureka has diminished since one of the nurses is Matt Richards, a St. Bernard High School Alum. All three kids came to visit dad this weekend as well as his sister Cathy and brother-in-law Ron. Cathleen asked him if he was feeling okay last night before she was going to leave, and he held up his hand signing "OK".
I wanted to add that he has been breathing on his own without the help of a machine for the last few days
ReplyDeleteActually, he has the machine on at night, but has been doing a great job during the day breathing on his own!
