Thursday

Spoke with Dad last night, and he said that TIRR is "awesome." He really likes it there, as the environment is very positive, the staff friendly and helpful, and they respond to him immediately if he hits the call button. Even the food is good! They encouraged him and Mom to attend the Tuesday collaborative meeting they hold between all the doctors on his case. This certainly helps them understand what everyone's concerns are, how they are making decisions, etc.

Dad's doing several hours of PT, OT, and wheelchair time every day. Tuesday he was in his wheelchair almost ALL day, although Wednesday not too much.

Ultimately, he will not likely get to stay at TIRR for very long due to Medicare issues...but we are praying that the Lord will have him get the care he needs at the places he needs it, when he needs it. Nothing is too complicated for Him...even though we are sometimes overwhelmed with the complications. Keep praying for Mom's health, strength, and peace...as she is dealing not just with Dad, but her normal health issues and also her mother's health (which is NOT good currently).
