Becky said dad is feeling much better today. More mobile, and can talk a bit more. At least they are able to understand some of what he says and it makes sense too.
I went to visit him this afternoon but after doing hot laps down the hall with John Curtis, he was spent and was snoozing when I got there. I had to leave to retrieve my screaming baby so I didn't get to see for myself how he was doing.
UPDATE:
I went back up to see dad tonight and was very surprised to see him walking well and moving all around the room and hallways. He had been doing more laps with Mike and Pizza Greg and I thought he would have been tired, but he was still wanting to be on the move. When Craig and Doug got there they took over and he didn't stop until about 9 p.m.
At one point, he was outside and he grabbed onto Doug and I and just started walking fast. I joked that he was trying to escape, but I think that actually might have been true! He checked out every area, would stop when he realized he couldn't go any farther, then turn around and go somewhere else. Finally it got dark and cold and Mike brought out the wheelchair and we got dad to sit down and brought him back inside.
I left as they were getting him ready to settle down and go to bed. Craig and Doug were going to stay with him and Becky was going to head home for the night to get some sleep. I hope he rests well, he really needs it after all the exercise he got today!
