About the same

Dad is continuing in the right direction. No change, but he is having mostly good days. He usually works out at the ranch every day, at least some. He is eating regularly, but is usually exhausted for about an hour after he eats. He gets worn out pretty easily, but overall is doing well. Still no weight gain, but also no more weight loss.
The weekend before Thanksgiving, Mom and Dad went out on the first date they have been on since before Dad's surgery. (They did this at least once a week before) That was a nice treat for Mom. Also, they went to the movies with me and the kids to see "Bolt." This was also a special treat. My Dad has always loved going to the movies, but hasn't felt like doing this since before his surgery.
Mom and Dad had lots of company during Thanksgiving, so he was wiped out for a few days after all the company left, but non-the-less, enjoyed seeing everyone.
He is also doing really well with the stuttering. He only seems to do it when he is tired or stressed. We joke with him now about it, asking if we are stressing him out if we hear him start to stutter. He usually laughs and says "Yes!"
I am sorry to those of you that check the blog everyday. Since Dad is staying the same, there is not much to report on. Thank you for your continued prayers. They are what has sustained all of us.
In Him, JJ
