Today has been a busy day with doctor appointments and school enrollment so unfortunately I've been unable to spend much time with dad or mom. I've been in to check on dad several times through-out the day between other things (I worked last night and am at work tonight). The good news on dad is that his arm is no longer completely paralyzed and numb like it was. He can move his upper arm but he still cannot use his hand. I think the most devastating to him though is to not be able to speak clearly and find the words he wants. I thought he was doing pretty good in the morning but this afternoon he seemed a little mentally confused. He is refusing to eat much of anything except fruit and goat milk so I bought him some grapes, bananas and orange juice. He is still refusing to go to Susie's house and keeps saying he is alright. At least he is still as stubborn as ever so that may help him to get better soon. :) I know if anyone can work hard to get their hand working it would be dad. He has spent most of the day laying down on the love seat in his home. He is normally an active person so it seems very unusual to see him this way. Please continue to keep him in your prayers. He seems very sad right now. :(
Mom has been very sweet and smiley when I did get to see her. She seems to be in a sweet, child-like state where she doesn't really worry about anything. I'm so thankful she is not agitated or difficult to care for.
