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. […]
And He’s Home
This morning my brother made his way up to the rehabilitation center and came home with a tired, happy father. It has been quite a long few weeks for him recovering from the stroke and there have been some very difficult situations. But he stuck through it always looking forward to this day. He is […]
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. […]
Stepping Out
My mom and I spent this morning with my dad continuing to be amazed at his progress. In physical therapy, instead of a walker, the therapist had my dad try walking with a cane. He tried several times, but couldn’t really get the rhythm of it. It seemed to trip him up more than assist. […]
God’s Got It
A few months ago, my son was hurt on the seasonal job he was working for. It has been a long road for him and he has been searching for a new job. Today I was literally on my knees praying that God give him a job that would be most beneficial for him and […]
Divide and Conquer
I spent the majority of the day with my dad at the rehab and was with him for all his therapies and doctors’ visits. It was good to see first hand the progress he continues to make. Today he walked up and down the set of steps they have in the gym there. His therapist […]
Prompted to Pray
My mom’s friend came to visit today, play the piano, and have lunch as they do on Tuesdays. My brother visited my dad this morning, so it was nice to have some normalcy. In our conversations, we talked about how God makes us aware of His Presence in so many circumstances. My mom’s friend receives […]
