Everyday is a New Day

Everyday is a new day and thank goodness because yesterday was a tough one for many, many reasons.  The progress today has been outstanding, some of the key accomplishments so far and it's only 3:00:
  • All IV's, Drains, Tubes etc. are out!
  • Fantastic Physical Therapy Session culminated in Dad getting to and sitting in a chair for 40 minutes.
  • He ate a nice lunch, meatloaf and rice which he enjoyed.  This is his first true meal since surgery on Wednesday.
  • He asked if he could do some of his physical therapy exercises in bed and then did them on his own.
 Dad has an amazing spirit and is determined to do everything that he is supposed to do, we really couldn't ask for a better patient!
