The babies and Gr Grandpa have something in common


Learning to walk !!!!!

It's been rocky. We've had a lot of issues and challenges - more with some people in the facility than with Dad. It will still be a long recovery, but he is up and walking with help. I was surprised at how well he's moving.

The center wanted to move him to a "more secure" location, claiming he was a flight risk and fall risk. We've had to convince Dad to push the button to go to the bathroom so he has help. He hates having the young girls help him that way. We've really had to fight it. We understand that they don't want the liability, but since they accepted him as a patient, he's their's! I think we've finally convinced them of that. The final straw was when they showed up with discharge papers to send him to a long term care center. We nixed that. Long story.

We just want him to get strong enough to come home.
