Journal entry by Cherie' Karmilovich —
It’s been a very busy week before and after Christmas. I’m finally updating about my dad. Good news is he spent his first Day in rehab yesterday. He is in rehab in Courtland which is closer to our house. He still cannot eat and has a port put in for feeding in his abdomen. He could not go to rehab with a feeding tube through his nose. He is much happier to be out of the hospital. He will get seven days a week therapy at his new location. We are hoping to see a lot of progress! He is willing to work although he tires easily. He can slightly move on his right side but no where near a functioning level yet. Keep him in your prayers. We’re also thankful he made it three weeks in the hospital with no pneumonia. He can physically swallow but the little flap that shut things off from going into your lungs is what is not working and is the reason he is not allowed to eat.
