Day 30-Hanging Out!

It's hard to believe it's been 4 weeeks since dad broke his neck.  It's been an amazing month full of hope and recovery.  It's been a rollercoaster of emotions. And at the end of each day, I am thankful for my dad's strong spirit and his fight to recover the best he can.



Each day, we see progress, sometimes it's small
but hey, it's still progress. 


Today, dad complained about the burnt, dry grilled cheese...wanting better tasting food is progress!  More importantly, mom is making progress! She learned to use the hoyer lift to transfer dad. 



 Mom at the hoyer controls???? Scary thought indeed! Good luck dad. 
 Just hang around for awhile, she'll get you moved.


                           Dad's new hammock swing...fancy huh???



Dad still hanging and praying mom can operate this thing!

  1. Love the new hammock! What a wonderful thing it is!
    Justin, just wanted you to know that my partners and I have been in high gear getting ready for the Canal Winchester Jazz and Ribfest. This has brought in some 20.000 people (Yes, that's the right number of zeroes!) in previous years. It starts today at 5 pm and we will be there late. It lasts through tomorrow night. So we are hopeful that this weekend will be a huge step toward balancing our previous diminished returns.
    We will have Georgia's beautiful white tent out front (Street is blocked off) and it will be our Summer Clearance merchandise, along with a space where our potter will be working at his wheel, making ceramics., with all his wares discounted in the shop.
    So, needless to say, we've been swamped. After the dust settles, I'll be over to see you. I'll stop at Smith Farm Market and bring whatever fruit looks really special.
    Love,
    Nancy
