Seems like the best thing to happen to Oscar was his being moved from Edmond to Stillwater. The folks at Westhaven work with him every day and several times a day. Great bunch of folks, and Dad is eating his meals almost 100% each time.
.............and TODAY... this am, he walked with his old walker, his going home walker, almost 4 city blocks by himself... He truly wants to go home and is really working hard to do that and we are all so proud of him. It was on April 27th when he went into the hospital, and hopefully he will be home on the 27th of August. He is missed by us all. Mom has really been a trouper too through this time, being there with dad almost every day. Marilyn has done the same, working and then working again... Jake has taken Mom some and has been to see Grandpa about every other day or so. He really responds to Jake well, and they seem to have a neat bond. The rest of the family makes it as their time allows, including me! I have tried to do the farming but according to Mom, they have done it without me cheaper, and better, so not sure that I will continue to do it. Might get fired!! Just have to see...
But the real news today.. Dad walked with his old walker by himself.. and did AWESOME!!!
More later...
