Well, it’s the weekend.

Whew! Lots of changes this week. Lots of pic’s coming soon, and some good stories in the works. For now just some of the other important stuff. Mostly so you know how to pray. Obviously Dad being home is a major praise and big deal, but with his home coming alterations and adjustments have to be made. For instance, mom has been working on the inside of dad’s house. Creating quite dramatic a transformation as the hospital bed has replaced the couch, and once useful furniture has been shifted to accommodate the graceful and wide berth of Dad in his chair and his daily needs. Several good folks have been added to the care team and they have made their visits and suggestions. I am sure there will be more to come as the next few weeks flow by. Other changes like a permanent/temporary ramp has been installed outside the front door. Some modifications are also in the process of being made to the rest of the house as well. Little things we take for granted like standing in the shower, have to be thought through and adjusted. They make shower benches? Dad realistically will be sitting in his wheelchair for a while. How long we ask? As long as it takes for his body to heal. So we process what he needs to not only survive for now, but be able to have an environment that he can recuperate and thrive in. I’ll be going in to “work” with Dad a couple of days a week, as mom gets to escape and run errands, get groceries, or have a few hours out of the house. This will allow for some more normalcy in both of our families as my kids never really know when I will be home or helping with grampa.

I guess now pray for the major changes that we are undergoing as the reality sets in and we are actually put to the test of Dad’s recovery. Also, please continue to pray for sight for Dad and energy for the rest of us as we all continue down this road of recovery.
