Hi folks. Here's the latest in the saga...

Dad's been home for a couple of weeks now. He was in an inpatient rehab hospital for about 2 weeks after a few days in hospital following the stroke. His left side is still very weak, but he's able to stand on his own and take a few steps with a walker. His cognitive and speech abilities have been unaffected, just numbness/weakness on his left side. Things are tingling periodically, which is supposed to be a good sign (an indication the brain's rewiring itself) and he's able to move his left hand/arm more. Still can't grip anything because he can't feel it and doesn't have much strength (so no typing, etc.). He's doing outpatient rehab a couple of times a week, plus working on things at home. We converted the living room on the first floor to his bedroom since he can't get up the stairs.

Mom called just a little while ago to tell me he's getting a port put in today (as I type, in fact) for chemo and/or other future IV treatments. Knew it was coming, but didn't know when insurance would OK it.

Thanks for your continued support/prayers.

Thanks for the update. It is good to hear there is progress even if I'm sure it seems to him that it is painfully slow.

It's heartwarming... no, this is July... it's delightfully refreshing for this new member to read about the true caring shown here. Virtual hug to every one of you. And my best to Dad, too.
