It was my turn on the couch last night . Dad slept very well,  so well in fact, that he turned by himself in the middle of night.  I put a pillow under his shoulders to help steady him. This morning he sat up and wanted to wash his own face and shave himself ! Mom and I were shocked! 


Jon Ward came over again to help get Dad into the car. They really do have amazing neighbors. We gave dad his first pain lollipop  this morning. He does not like them at all! So we will just keep giving him his Lortab! Both him and mom took a nap this afternoon. 


When Matt, the physical therapist, came today Dad was actually happy to see him! I think it is because he reminds him of Chris Desmond . He has a very calming, quiet and caring manner with Dad. He was able to get him to walk about 6 feet in his walker!!! This in itself is a miracle!!!
Today was a good day!
