Dad has been home for a week now, and things are going well. He has a home nurse coming in twice a week to take vitals and ask questions. And then a physical therapist has come in a couple of times too. We hear that he'll be getting a call from the occupational therapist soon to help with everyday things that he needs to do. I asked Dad what he wanted prayer for and here's what he said: 1. Pray that his appetite would return. Right now nothing sounds good or tastes good. He is down to 200 pounds now on his six foot, one inch frame, so the man is getting thin. He realizes he needs nourishment in order to get more energy and stay healthy. 2. Pray that he'd be able to build up some muscle in his body. The therapist has given him excercises to do, and wants him walking when he can. 3. He also asked for wisdom on how hard to push himself in his excercising, etc.. It can sometimes be a hard balance between wanting to push yourself and wearing out your already weak body. 4. stamina and health for Mom. She's doing good, but we're asking for prayer that she would continue to try to take care of herself as well as Dad. Thanks for praying!
