Good Friday

The last couple days Dad has been tired. As you can imagine it is a tremendous adjustment on his body to be sitting for a couple of hours at a time. After he sits for sometime he seems to be very sore. This again is part of the process and the more he sits the more accustom his body will become to this position. In the meantime we continue with exercises to keep the flexibility in his body and to help regain its strength. I think it is safe to say he is officially off the ventilator. He has not required any breathing assistance (except the oxygen) since Monday. He legs have become increasingly stronger this week. He told me he could drive:)
