Delicious Blessing
Unfortunately, I have succumbed to a nasty cold. I suppose it was inevitable with the stress and going in and out of the hospital for weeks. However, I was able to get some rest yesterday when more family was here. My sister even did some meal prep and she put a meal in the crock […]
Family Time
Today my brother flew in and my sisters, brother in law, and son all came over. We had a wonderful time together celebrating my sister’s birthday and the fact that my dad was home. It had been quite a while since all of us siblings had been together. I Found God today enjoying family time.
Doing the Stairs
My dad has been chomping at the bit to go downstairs since he got home. But, I haven’t felt confident enough to do them with him. Today the physical therapist came, despite the unexpected continuous snowy day. My dad told her that he really wanted to get down the stairs because that’s where all his […]
Beginning Home Recovery
Today was a new day with my dad tooling all around in his walker. We had a visit from the home health care nurse who was very nice and very knowledgeable. She was a good start to the progression of therapists that will be coming through. My brother’s dog seemed again to be overly concerned. […]

Purple Booties
Knowing that it was going to be very frigid weather here, my brother got some purple rubber booties to protect his dog’s paws. This morning he got her all layered up with a shirt, coat, and the new purple booties. Before they headed out, she walked all around lifting her feet way up off the […]
Almost There
It is a snowy day here, so my mom, brother, and I spent some time with my dad this morning before the roads got too slippery. We’re not sure if we will be able to make it back tomorrow, and since my dad is due to come home on Wednesday, we got some last minute […]
Solitary Sacred Space
I recorded Mass again on EWTN this morning and brought my computer to the rehab so we could watch with my dad. When my mom and I arrived, he had just finished a therapy and the Eucharistic ministers were in his room. We were glad we made it in time to receive Communion. We then […]
Encouraging Enthusiasm
Today my brother spent the morning with my dad at the rehab. It being the weekend, my dad had only 1 therapy today that was made up of taking a shower. He was somewhat dismayed that he didn’t even get to go into the gym and told the therapist that he wanted to practice walking. […]
