Moving Day Completed

We are in our room at Texas Rehab, just across the street from Harris.  He is asleep as I type this. Hasn't asked for any pain meds until tonight.  We are praying for a good night of rest with evaluations important in the morning.  OT , PT, and Speech Therapy as well as the doctor here will be assessing him.


He hasn't lost his sense of humor. When the transport guys came to move him from the hospital, they strapped him in on the gurney and he said " OK, just don't let me go flying down Main St."


It is very difficult for him to be so helpless. This big strong man's man. He is still that to me. Cancer has wrecked havoc on his body, but the stroke has left him in need of assistance. Tonight as we were getting him adjusted in bed he said "ridiculous, this is ridiculous". As we all began to tear up he said," but I'll get better".
Please pray for him as he begins rehab in the morning.


We continue to "lift our eyes......our help comes from the LORD" Psm. 121
Thank you for your love and prayers.

One last thought from JJ. I know the next few days will be very difficult, as Dad is going to have to muster  ALL the strength he can, just to be able to do his evaluations tomorrow, then start full blown therapy on Tuesday. It wears him out so much, just to talk.  Please give him the next few days, to see how it goes, without visitors.  Let us see how he will handle this transition, and then if he is able, he can start receiving visitors again.  Thank you all for your understanding and your love for Dad.  We will keep you posted.
