Today was a better day. Dad was able to sleep a little bit better with some sleeping medicine last night. He was much more talkative today, as visitors and family trickled in and out. We talked about a few good memories, and just enjoyed some of the old stories.
As far as how things are going medically, Dad is about the same. Except for a little more talking today, everything else is the same. They have decided to hold off on the PT until they allow the blood thinner to work to break up the clots in the legs. So, we wait, until we get through a few more days, then if he can be released to do PT, I think we will be moving to a Rehab facility across the street.
We are all doing pretty good, Mom is so strong, and we know it is the Lord in her. It is difficult on all of us, especially her, to see Dad in such a helpless state.
All 4 of us kids, and Mom have been able to be with Dad on and off over the past 3 days. We consider it a privilege to get to spend this time with them, and to serve Dad. He has been a great father, and has served us for so many years, working hard to take care of us and give us a wonderful home to grow up in. He allowed our mother to stay home and be with us, and he provided through his hard work and God's blessing, all that we needed. We know that "every good and perfect gift is from above" (James 1) and we consider Dad one of those gifts to our mother and us kids.
We will continue to pray for the Lord's will to be done, for wisdom, for strength.
Thank you, please keep praying, and I will keep you posted,
JJ
