Today marks the conclusion of the third week since the surgery. I was talking to my sister Jamie the other night and we both remarked how it seems to be much longer than three weeks since Dad had the procedure. It truly has been a long and hard time for us all. But we pray that, Lord willing, Dad is on track for a full recovery.
Dad is still showing positive signs of neurological recovery, and he is regaining the control and movement of his right side. He is voluntarily lifting his right knee and is doing so more and more, which is wonderful to see. Plus, Missy has continually stated that she has no doubt Dad is comprehending everything that is going on around him.
Dad did have some set backs today. He has developed some complications that are not a surprise for a patient that has been laid up in bed for three weeks. They are not serious complications, but the slight derailment means Dad will be kept at Riverside for five to seven more days. This is a little discouraging, especially since one of the rehab centers we are considering stopped by today, saying they had an opening. The key word through this whole process has been patience, so we will exhibit some more and continue to support Dad through his recovery.
Let us all continue to petition God in prayer for Dad's healing and offer praise in Jesus' name for the progress that has been made so far. =)
May God Bless Each of You!
