A Bit of Progress

Hello all. Dad made a bit of progress yesterday on two fronts. First, he was able to get dressed from head to toe. He still needed some help on this, but getting completely dressed (shoes included!) is a big step at this point. Additionally, the "roar" he's been dealing with in his ears suddenly stopped. This is wonderful news as he was finally able to hear conversations and a little bit of what's on TV. I told him that this is truly the answer to a prayer as many of you have been lifting him up during the past week asking for the roar to be silenced. Thank you for those prayers and please be sure to thank God for this answer. Of course, we have no guarantee that it won't come back, but we're choosing to celebrate that he's enjoyed at least one day recently without that roar.

So, after getting dressed and being able to hear, mom and dad went out for a little spin around town. They enjoyed getting some lunch and driving just about all over the place-- good thing gas is still relatively inexpensive!

We continue to ask for your prayers as dad is picking up once again with physical therapy to try to regain some of the strength he has lost. Please ask God to provide him with the strength to complete the sessions and for patience while his body "re-learns" a lot of what he needs to be able to do.

As always, thank you for your continued prayers and support!
