Just a quick note about dad. 

He's been home now for almost 2 weeks and settling in to his new rehab routine. Jean is on full-time caretaker duties, and reports he's making sure and steady progress.  As his children, we've tried to give him a steady dose of visitors without tiring him out. 

For those wishing to understand a bit more about dad's illness, HSV Encephalitis, below is a very informative link about the virus.  It'll give you an insight into how it came about, what treatment looks like, it's potential short-term/long-term affects on the patient, etc.

In the near term, for those looking to set up a video call with dad, leave a comment or reach out to one of us, and we'd be glad to set something up.  

Photos from this past Saturday's visit with Margie, Jane and Rory.
