I got to talk to Dad on the phone tonight! It was so nice, as he sounds much more like himself. He met with the physical therapist today (who happens to know Melissa!) and the goal was to take some steps with the parallel bars. Well, this wasn't challenging enough, so they quickly moved on to walking with a walker. He was quite tired, but did well.
His eyesight is improving a little as far as the double vision but is still a concern to him.
Our prayer requests are for his vision to improve, his strength to return, and his kidneys to start working again. We are so thankful for how far God has brought Dad already!

Amazing!! :)
Hi from Maxine. Stan has made great strides with his mind clearing and his desire to put all the pieces together of what has gone on in the last weeks. He is overwhelmed by the love and concern from all of you. He is also a little overwhelmed by the pace things are moving and what all happens to him the the course of a day with dialysis (three times a week), doctors checking him, bandages being changed, trips to xray and physio. Sometimes he has had his food sent back to the kitchen because he was off on one of the above adventures! and was short on sleep and nourishment. It may seem a big leap from Intensive Care to the Observation Unit but he still has a lot of healing to do. We have finally reached a place where he doesn't fight sleep, but welcomes it. Thanks again to you all for your love and concern. I still need to be faithful to my goal of protecting him from too much additional activity than is already necessary for his daily maintenance and we will soon welcome more visits, but just not yet. Love from Stan and Maxine
It'so nice to be reading good news from you every night.Remember Stan that little steps will become big leaps. Bev
