Good morning, all.  Dad has been going through all kinds of different therapies and exercises at the rehabilitation facility this week and is making great progress as a result.  He has done everything from walking on different types of surfaces outdoors to practicing activities like cooking and shopping -- lots of real life scenarios to prepare for returning to life outside a medical facility.  Right now the plan is for him to be discharged sometime next week, and Mom is grateful to have lots of offers of help as she adjusts to having him home.  Steve, the kids, and I are headed up to visit Dad this afternoon and will spend the weekend with Mom to celebrate her birthday (which is on Saturday in case you want to reach out!).  We are encouraged by Dad's progress and are thankful for the support surrounding Mom as they step into the next stage of the journey next week.  With love and thanks, Kate
