Mom and Dad came to our house on New Year's Day and stayed about 3 hours. Dad enjoyed being there with most of the other family members and a few of our friends. He was pretty quiet, but Mom said that the therapists had worked him pretty hard on the previous day. She wasn't very happy about that and intends to talk to the about being persistent in helping Dad to make progress but not wearing him out! I think they tried to make up for the days that they'd miss seeing him because of the holidays. You have to give them credit for their interest, but Dad just can't take the overzealousness!
His condition at the moment is status quo, but as we all know his brain is still healing. I was visiting with a friend who is a surgeon in Nevada. He said that the brain is very slow to heal and that things will continue to change and progress even over the length of a year or two. All of us remain prayerful and optimistic. We don't care what the statistics say or what the doctors say, because none of them seem to take into account the Harvey-factor or the God-factor!!! As Isaiah 55:9 says, "As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts." God is watching over Dad and is in control! We all live in faith, including Mom and Dad!
Talk to you soon! Love to all! Sandi
