Dad was finally released from the acute rehab center and returned home where his rehab will continue.  We were a little unsure as to how this would all go but we’ve managed to clear all of the hurdles along the way thus far.  Getting in and out of the car was our primary concern but it was clear Dad was ready to go.  He nearly jumped out of his chair and into the car.  There was no way he was going back!  

Getting out of the car and into the house was just as smooth.  We’ve still got some work to do on the inside the house in order to help make the day to day activities as easy and efficient as possible but I’m sure in time we’ll iron out the wrinkles.  Mom has done a great job with the routine tasks such as transferring Dad to and from the bed, maneuvering him around the house and of course finding something good on TV.   

Most important of all Dad’s attitude has been great.  It’s clear he is happy to be home and we’re just as happy he’s back.  For now the focus is on getting settled back in and establishing a routine but there won’t be much downtime before the in-house rehab kicks off.  We’re hopeful this transition helps to speed his recovery.  We know we’ve got a long way to go so please keep the positives vibes coming!
