Friday, January 31: Update on Dad

Thanks for all of the expressions of concern and for the many prayers, rosaries, and Masses being offered for my dad's recovery.  My brother Tim did a masterful job of getting Dad to eat yesterday and last night.  He said that Dad is "looking more alert this morning.  They didn't wake him up in the middle of the night for tests so that is a positive step.  He did well on the tests this morning.  Last night [he] gave him a glass and he drank by himself.  Shaved himself and did a pretty good job.Without a mirror it is about what [he] would have done."    Tim says that he ate all of his breakfast this morning and they even found another apple sauce cup for him.  So that sounds good.  My own observations are that I'm very pleased to see him eating and that his speech, hearing, and understanding are decent.  It would seem to be a good place to start with his rehab.  It sounds like that will be taking place at Norseland Nursing Home in Westby.  The plan, at this point, is to move him on Monday.  Again, thanks for all the spiritual support.
