Weekend Update

Dad continues to make tiny improvements. This sounds better than it looks. He is still very tired and sore everywhere and it is difficult to understand his words. This is all to be expected but we all can't wait to see him jump out of bed! Not sure when that will be, so for now we'll take smiles and head nods.

He did have physical therapy today and I heard he was sitting up and had his legs over the side of the bed. Considering he hasn't moved in over 3 weeks, this is awesome! We are sure he is pleased to be doing his exercises. Saturday they hope to get him in a chair. I'm sure he'll be happy to get out of that bed. I can't wait to see him and get my smile on Saturday!

His nieces, nephews, brothers, cousins, in-laws, friends etc have been so supportive. He surely is well-loved. This makes us happy but my mom misses her boyfriend. So get up dad....we're all waiting patiently. You have until Sunday when Jeff gets here.

PS No bedsore - the one that started has been cleared by his wonderful nurse, Anne!

Love, Michelle
