Daddy was released from Jane Phillips earlier this afternoon and, as you can see, he was excited to be heading home!
Before heading out daddy was able to work with a occupational and physical therapist. The occupational therapist gave us additional direction on ways to rehab daddy's right arm and get it firing. We still have a long way to go in this area, but we know daddy is a champ and will conquer this obstacle too. The physical therapist had him up and walking using a cane for the first time, which was quite exciting. They don't recommend that he ditch his wheelchair quite yet, but daddy has a different opinion. He insists that we help him walk throughout the house and has no interest in this wheelchair. Shhh... don't tell!
Daddy's chairlift is officially installed and operational! Daddy was able to go up to his room for the first time since his stroke. I know he's going to sleep well tonight!
After this last episode daddy was taken off two of his blood pressure meds and we're definitely seeing an increase in his energy level. And with this elevated energy level we've seen an elevated level of opinions and direction coming from his direction. We'll take him, sass and all!
Thanks again for all the prayers and encouragement. We can truly see God working throughout our whole family!
God is good!
