Dad was back to the trailer this past Friday. He was sent home with oxygen and a walker. He will have rehab for roughly a month (that can be done in Indiana as well) and he has doctor appointments down there next week.

Not sure what the status is on the return to Indiana until after those appointments.

Well, funny how things go, we aren't sure what is happening today. One doctor scheduled an appointment at his office for 12:00 ... and the staff at the hospital said there is no way he will be released by then.

We think he will be out today, but not certain. He will be bringing a walker and oxygen home with him.

When I know more I will update.

Thanks to all.

The doctor has cleared Dad to come home on Friday. However, he will have oxygen and likely a walker. But that is such good news. There are still a few things that could prohibit that, but as of now, things look good.

Thanks again for all the prayers and support.

Dad was told today by the rehab people that he could go home today or tomorrow, but that he would be on oxygen.

Turns out that the doctor has not been made aware of this, so there is some confusion about where things stand. Mom said she hopes to talk to the nurse yet today. If I get word, I will make another post.

Rebecca (my daughter) arrived today, it is her spring break and she will be helping Grandma and Grandpa.

Note: to my Texas friends, please ask Rebecca if she has a rock in her luggage. Likely you will see her roll her eyes and say something like "Dad!" Then make her tell you about carrying a five pound rock in her backpack when she was younger. PS: This will likely cause Rebecca to start making up stories about me, don't believe her. :-)

Dad is in better spirits today. There are six things that are being measured, Dad has to have a 6 on all 6 of those measurements. So far, he has six on four of them, and a four on the other two. As good as that sounds, Dad is ready to be out of there. Thank you again for all your prayers.

Dad is in better spirits today. He got to see his puppy yesterday (thanks Davey)

Rehab continues to crawl along, Dad wants to go home, but knows he isn't ready yet. Please pray for patience.

Thanks

Dad has been moved to a rehab facility. Mom said visiting hours at the rehab center are from 5:00 to 8:00. Hope to have more detail tomorrow.
