They got dad out in the chair today, in fact he was still in the chair when I arrived and remained so until after supper.

They have left the tube in and the stomach is much reduced so fingers crossed that tomorrow they will remove and continue with physio.

They have special contraption that enables dad to pull himself up with 2 nurses steadying him to put him in and out of bed, so he gets the experience of bearing some weight on the leg/hip. This will continue tomorrow along with further exercises to build up muscles loss through laying in bed so long. Once again I thank you all for your prayers and thoughts for dad he and I very much appreciates it and know that it helps so much in his recovery.

I think he appetite is steadily improving he asked me to make a cake for him and take in tomorrow, I made a cherry and walnut one.

So glad to hear your dad is doing better. It will undoutedly be a big relief to have the tubes removed. As his PT progresses he will get back to his old self. Prayers continuing for you both.

That cake looks yummy!

It’s great to read the positive steps in your dad’s healing process. It’s a lot to ask of an older person, to go through all that. I’m very glad he has you, Eleanor, to love and look after him in this affliction.
