at how wonderful dad was today. We arrived an half hour past nine am... was to be there at 9am.. so he was ready to go. We gathered up an oxygen tank, and Dad and headed to the car, where he commenced to show us how strong he was becoming. By holding onto the car, he pulled himself up to standing position, and then scooted around and set down in Ann's car!! By himself. He has not done anything close to this in over four months! He said he did it cuz he wanted to "Go Home". And we were off to the farm. I think he truly enjoys the trips "on the outside". He loves the fresh air, and the green grass and trees and dogs.. etc and cattle.... We made it for about four hours today. He loved it and was a bit pooped when we went back, of course, it might be the "going back" that pooped him out.. but he was a trooper. We were so glad he came out.. wanted to come out, and glad he wants to do it again. We are shooting for tomorrow afternoon, a small cookout at his home, with Phillip cooking some of his world famous brisket... tomorrow evening. Will, let you know how it goes tomorrow..
Thanks to Jonathan for taking time out of his busy schedule to come up to see his Grandpa.. that truly made his day too. Randi was sick and with the baby coming soon, she stayed home to recoop, so Jon hurried off towards evening to check on her.
All for now.. but, if you see Marilyn, you might ask her about dumpster diving for her truck keys this am.. interesting story.. haha...
Later.... s
