Tough day but Moving in a good direction

Thank you all so much for your kind words and prayers for Daddy and for Mama. We have felt  them and fell so blessed. 

This is what Daddy is looking like these days. He’s doing whatever it takes to make this work!! By the way this is Stubbie our friendly and very cute backyard squirrel. She thinks she is a bird most days though.

Daddy had his most physically active day so far. He was up walking three times today, as well as doing some chair exercises. He is practicing his "getting in and out" of chairs faithfully. How about any of you? Practicing??? Better get to doing them -- turns out to be very important.

He is being treated for his pulmonary edema with breathing treatments every four hours. They have really helped open his airways in his lungs. He’s breathing much better and not wheezing.

He watched the Super Bowl yesterday and rooted for the underdog who won! His favorite commercial was the Betty White one, of course.

I want to let you know that any emails that you have sent to me, I take to the hospital and we read them to Daddy. He is so grateful for all of his friends and family.

So - on to a new day tomorrow.

love, Laura
