Very Encouraging...

As if the news from my Aunt Marilyn weren't encouraging enough, I talked to Katie last night and she told me a couple of things.

First, when Katie and Maura visited yesterday Dad was just coming back from physical therapy and the therapist said, Dave, let's show them what you were working on today. My Dad was able to walk a short while WITHOUT the walker! When I talked to the physical therapist in early July he said he originally never expected my Dad to walk at all and at that point he was using a walker. Now he's starting to be able to walk without it. Wow.

Secondly, my Dad typically doesn't remember who visited him when we ask but yesterday he gave Katie a name. When she checked the guest book, sure enough, that person had visited earlier in the day!

We all know Dave can do anything he puts his mind to, so happy to see him working so hard and proving all those doctors wrong.
