Dad is doing well at home.   He is still very weak and has been having trouble with dizziness and nausea (he blacked out again yesterday while I was there), but he is glad to be in the comfort of home.  He has been doing very well cognitively, has started to eat a little bit again the last couple of days, and is showing more interest in getting back into his life.  Yesterday Dad told me that the thing that has helped him most is love and visits from his family.

Home Health continues to check in with him and he has a speech therapist, physical therapist, and occupational therapist working with him at home.  His lack of balance is still an issue, so they are still trying to work with him on that and figure out what is causing it.  They are also still working on improving his swallowing and general muscle strength.  We are looking forward to the time when he can get off of the feeding tube.  He still has a lot of progress to make in that area.

The big news of the day is that Dad finally got the external fixator off of his arm/wrist today.  He has been wanting that off  from the time he was conscious!  It was supposedly a pretty painful process having it and the screws removed, but I am sure it is such a relief to him to have his arm free again.  His left arm is obviously going to need extensive therapy now to help him regain function and strength.

Our family is so grateful to have Dad here to celebrate this Father's Day weekend!
