Please understand, those who are "addicted" to this Blog are greatly loved, admired, and appreciated by the whole family...it was simply a joke, as there's not a lot to report today.
A very sweet, long-time friend, volunteered to sit with Dad today while Mom was taking care of HER mom. While Dad is doing well, the reality is that he gets better attention and care from the hospital when people are with him (and Mom is less stressed about him while she's away). The hospital workers know they're being watched, and that detailed reports are being relayed to Mom. Heh, heh. So we've appreciated everyone who has assisted in this time-consuming way. So many have blessed us these last 8+ weeks, it's very humbling.
Dad did very good today, ate most of his meals, and was quite busy with therapy. He stood up in the torture device for about 4 minutes, then 2 minutes, then again for about 3 minutes. He didn't seem impressed, but I told him that only two days ago he had only lasted a total of 4 minutes...today was 9. That's more than double! They also had him in the therapy chair for a couple hours. I wonder why they decided to do that all of a sudden (see previous post).
Nurse said they'll only be taking blood analysis about once or twice a week, so won't know what his protein levels are until the next go-round (whenever that will be). Continue to pray for his recovery, strength, bowel and urinary control, and for Mom's health too.

Just addicted to loving the Telge clan! :)
I fully understand the more vigilent level of care when visitors and family are present and reporting. I just wish I had the resources to come down for a few days and help out but it is neither physically nor fiscally possible at this point in time.
