My mom's sisters answered the call, and surprised her with a visit and some dinner...so we all went out and got her mind off things for a spell.
It was awesome to see her laughing again. Some friends of my Dad also joined us and the little sneaker picked up the tab when none of us were looking! (Thanks from everyone for that, GO)
Everyone at the table was telling stories of my Dad. Things he used to do or say, things he has said recently in recovery, updates, etc. It was a great evening.
He and I watched the Obama speech tonight. He kept saying O-bah-ma....haha. I told him I loved him as I left, and he whispered "I know".
This will be my only post until Monday evening. Have a great weekend everyone!

I am one of Claudia's sisters. We hadn't seen John since he had moved into the SNF, so we were very apprehensive about the progress John is making. What a nice surprise! His eyes tracked us as we walked in and we know he recognized us. We were joking around with John and he actually said a few words to us. He is trying to say a lot more words, just can't seem to make them come out. It is very frustrating for us so I am sure it must be also for him.
We were present for his PT, I think we were a distraction, however, he kept waving to us, we had to take a short break so that he could concentrate.
It was nice to see my sister relax, we had a nice time; even if it was just for a short afternoon/evening.
And yes, thank you Gary for picking up the tab!
