Good news! The blood clot is small and Kelley has gotten the doctors' approval to proceed with Dad's therapy AND his visit home on Christmas Day! Dad didn't sleep all night worrying about the clot, but he feels better this morning after talking to the medical staff and Kelley'
s pep talk! He is making big strides in his recovery right now, so we are thankful that the blood clot won't keep him in bed. The Lucas' stopped by this evening to encourage dad. Shirley had a blood clot in her leg after a recent out-patient surgery, so she knows first hand the fear of it all. Shirley's clot was dissolved in a week, so we are praying that Dad's is gone just as quickly! Laurie, a therapy assistant, dropped by Dad's room and asked if Dad had shown Mom her surprise?!? Dad said, no, so Laurie pointed out a Christmas present hiding in the corner of the windowsill. She said that "Santa" had dropped if off for Mom but needed Dad to wrap it for him. She went on to explain that Dad used scissors and cut the paper himself, and then Laurie held the paper together while Dad taped it all up. He did a great job on it, so now Mom can't wait until Christmas Eve to tear into it and see what's inside! When Mom got home this evening, Joanne Ligon came by and dropped off a Christmas appetizer and a dessert for us to enjoy on Christmas Day. They look yummy; hope they make it until Christmas!!
