Dad's Recovery

Once again I apologize for the lack of blogging lately. Life has been busy around here. I want to thank everybody for their continued thoughts and prayers for my dad and our family. I can't tell you how much we all appreciate it.

Here is the update on dad. He got out of rehabilitation last Saturday and came to live with us. He suffered a slight stroke and also was diagnosed with diabetis and high blood pressure...all of which are contributing to the fact that he is still seeing double. Initially he was wearing a patch over one eye but is no longer doing that. He is happy as he always is and we are enjoying having him in our home. The kids just adore him. We are hoping that his vision will improve and that he will be able to drive once again because that is sooo important to him. Here are some pictures of our life with grandpa.

One of the things we do on valentine's day is a chocolate scavenger hunt...here he is helping Quinn along...
He is learning alot about technology while he is staying with us...

Ellie has taken over the role of dad's nurse. He is taking his blood-sugar numbers several times a day as well as his blood pressure...let's just say that she jumped right in and took over this whole process.

Last week the weather was incredible here...we got up to 50 degrees which was wonderful...we spent a lot of time outside. Today is a different story....we are in the middle of a blizzard.

Again, thank you for all of the love and support. Dad has loved getting the cards in the mail and all of the phone calls. We are all so blessed.
