Family Weekend

Hi everyone - this is Jean!  It has been a great weekend with Dad.  Although experiencing some discomfort (and having some cabin fever), he is still making such progress.  The feeling in his legs continues to improve.  He has had a few hours of therapy both Saturday and Sunday and on each day, he walked (with assistance) with the parallel bars.  Today, they allowed the family in to watch therapy and Dad did great.  For those on Facebook, I have posted pictures of his walking - check it out :)   He is now able to raise his legs off the bed and bend his legs...again, great improvements.  Everyone is so impressed with his progress. We are going to buy an IPod for Dad tomorrow, as listening to tunes (he has been listening to mine) seems to cheer him up.   Any song suggestions?? :)

Jacque Jr., Kristen, Jamie, Nelson, and Lil Mia all came by today.  Lil Mia put a smile on Dad's face, of course :)

Again, thanks for all the prayers, calls, cards and emails!  (For those that would like to email Dad, you can send him a note at laure.derr@hotmail.com.)  Dad really really appreciates it.

God bless and good night -

Jean
