Dad was released from the hospital on Friday. It's been really rough on all of us. We tried to get the house in order and did a pretty good job but it never fails to forget something. Everyone is very tired because we've had to do everything by ourselves. The new therapists are just now coming to introduce themselves and assess dad to set up therapy schedules. It's just going to be a matter of time before mom drops from exhaustion. We just can't get her to stop, slow down and nap during the day. We have one more assessment tomorrow with the speech therapist. This will complete our group of therapist coming to the house to continue giving him his physical, occupational and speech therapy sessions during the week. Our in home care giver is Adam. We needed a male to help lift him from bed to chair. He's been great so far.
We would appreciate holding off on calling or visiting at this time until we're comfortable with dad's schedule and mom's been able to rest a little. He's basically going to endure the same therapy programs he was getting at St. Mary's, but at home. So you can imagine, instead of having the nurses change him and bringing food to him, we're now taking their places with the help of Adam. We just don't know when the time to have visitors will be. Hold tight, keep on praying for a speedy recovery and the minute mom and dad are ready to have company, you'll be the first to know. Thank you for your understanding and patience.
Hang in there, just wish we could be there to help all of you. We have constant prayers and blessings coming your way. Take care and our love to all of you. your cuz Max, Richard and Family.
