| Sitting Up Saturday |
Dad had a good Saturday starting out with finishing breakfast just as we came in. He practiced his K and G sounds on us but forgot to stick out his tongue. He is eager to do all of his therapy whenever we ask and sometimes when he thinks we are asking but didn't hear right. His speech improved dramatically even from this morning. He talked all day long even during his breathing treatment which got him a reprimand from the therapist because he isn't supposed to talk.
The physical therapist came to take him to therapy where he was able to walk a few steps. As soon as he came back he wanted to sit in a chair. Unfortunately he couldn't do that until he got doctors approval. Shortly after lunch where he ate his whole meal and left only the parsley for mom, they put him in a chair.
He spent the afternoon up in the chair talking about visiting each of us while giving each nurse a hard time. Tom and Jeanette came to visit and to tell jokes. Dad believes humor is the best medicine. After being in the chair all afternoon he felt woozy and asked to lay down. We know he will sleep well since he never once closed his eyes all day. We left him with two nurses taking care of him so he was anxious for us to go so they could start the party. |
