We've just come home from seeing my dad in the hospital. He's passed the 1 month mark but he's had 2 major surgeries and just had a procedure to drain spinal fluid. So now add headache to the list of problems..but it's good cause it might decrease the swelling and let that incision heal.
Lots of driving for my mom and lots of lonely time at the house. She goes to work at 8, leaves at 3 to see my dad, where she bathes shaves and gets him ready for bed, comes home about 10 pm puts laundry of dads in the washer/dryer and then sleeps. And then the whole day starts again. My dad is working his butt off in rehab about 8 hrs a day. I'm so proud of both of them and he's trying so hard. He is able to use a walker and get into a wheelchair even though it wears him out to sit. He was able to give chunk a ride for a moment which was neat. Prayers are still needed for us to get him the heck out of dodge. Mom and Dad are so cute cause she still leans over and kisses him and he kisses back. She was telling him he has to practice that alot. It's really a love fest when you go visit him. I really can't believe I ever fought with them when I was younger. I used to love the the thought of moving away and being free of them (when i was 16-17). Can you imagine. Now it breaks my heart to drive 95 miles back to my house.
Chunk was crazy this weekend. We are both so tired from him. He really showed his two year ability and ran us down. I was ready to drop him off for a week somewhere. But today has been alittle better.
