Dear Friends of Denny,
Dad's sister Cathy stopped by for an Easter visit with Dad, she writes:

Stopped by to see your dad yesterday afternoon and we were  delighted with our visit!

He is SO much better now that he is home.  He was in the playroom in his wheelchair watching Titanic and immediately began telling us about the different birds he has been seeing out of the window over his desk.  He also pointed out the water fountain that Kevin had fixed.  He had us watch part of a video that showed the helicopter ride he and your Mom had taken in Hawaii.  We talked about Irene Schultz, the different kinds of birds in the bird room at EHS, and Christine and Bill's trip to Washington DC although he was unsure of the reason for the trip.  We also talked about Tammy Lindley and Marianne Lancaster, past science teachers as Mike, his caregiver knew them.  

We were so impressed with his alertness, his clarity, and his stamina in sitting up straight in the wheelchair for 45 minutes.  He also was moving the wheelchair around a little as he sat there.  He is becoming more adept at handling it. I don't think it will be much longer before he will be moving all over.

Being back home is the best thing for him.  He sat there and engaged in a conversation with us, initiating some of it while looking right at us the whole time. It is the best visit and conversation we have had with him since before the stroke.

And, last but not least, before we left he told us 3 knock-knock Easter jokes!!! He is definitely on the road to a meaningful recovery!!
