Sunday Update on Dad

I just got home from the hospital.  Dad had a pretty good day.  Tomorrow should be moving day if nothing changes.  We'll be moving him to Norseland Nursing Home in Westby.  After move in day then I should think that we will be sitting down with his care team to discuss what comes next.  I don't really know what to expect at this point.  Given Dad's condition before the stroke and what we've seen this week I don't know how much one can reasonably expect.  Of course, we always leave room for the unknown and for miracles; but, it almost seems as though that is what it will take for him to make any meaningful progress.  As Mom says, "we'll make the best of whatever happens".

Keith and Kristine Kenyon stopped in tonight for a visit.  Dad's old friend, David Whiteley stopped by on Friday.  Dad likes visitors even though he doesn't really carry on a conversation.  He listens while those around him talk and adds a comment in from time to time. 

Know that your prayers and expressions of support mean a great deal to Mom and to the rest of us.  We know that God is with Dad and with us, and that He continues to show His love and care for us through so many of you.  Thank-you.
