Tuesday, December 9...Charting Progress

Today was evaluation day at Katy Rehabilitation Hospital, and George is finally on the chart! Kelly, his main therapist, said on a scale of 1 to 10, George is a 1.5! I know it doesn't sound great, but he was at 0 when he left the hospital a week ago, so we will take it! Kelly also said that she is going to submit a request for George to remain there until December 31st. She said he would need to continue to make progress each week to be eligible to continue receiving in-patient therapy, but we are certain that God has big plans for his recovery! I was visiting Dad this afternoon when Ike Lucas came by to see him. Ike told Dad about the "big one" that got away, and Dad told him that he was working on his "trigger finger!" And then Mom & Dad's neighbor, Mark, came by showing off pictures of his wife's deer, so I think the guys gave Dad his motivation for the day. The Care Team at church sent flowers over for Dad, and Dave & I also sent a flowering plant, so everyone is aware of how much Dad is loved ... his room is overflowing with cards, balloons and plants!! It's going to be cold outside tonight, but all of you warm our hearts with your love and support!!
