This is a great day and definitely a big step forward for Dad. Tonight after a "bath" and some physical therapy he said (about the nurses) "tell them they're doing a great job." His voice is weak and speech is difficult but this is so very encouraging. Most promising is not just that he uttered some words but that he has cognitive reasoning and understanding of what is said to him as well as in his response. Early signs he just might remember that I owe him $150.00 (dang it.) Seems the "Gray Matter" will be calculating speed, trajectory and distance of those clay pigeons in no time! (Look out Ron) Oh I know I'm getting way ahead of myself now. Truly we are just so grateful Dad is coming back to us, and there is a long road yet to be traveled.
Timing on Brent’s' great news couldn't have been better. Minutes after posting the blog, Greg (who receives his info days late) called from the mission home, very concerned about his Grandpa. It was a relief for him to hear all this good news. The fasting, prayers and faith of Greg and all of you make all the difference. We're so thankful for the outpouring of love towards Dad and our family.
