E-Mail Update from Melany:
I feel like I am in a whirl wind, just going non stop.
I was sitting here working and it just dawned on me that I never did send you the update this morning. Sheeesh!
Pops is doing so amazing! He is very determined. The nurse was telling mom yesterday that we would not have to install the bars in the bathroom for support like they had told us earlier because of how strong he is and how determined he is to learn how to do everything.
They have taught him how to get in and out of the bathtub with just using the walls for support. They said that he is very strong which is absolutely amazing for the stroke that he had! Every day he is getting stronger.
They were working with him yesterday to be able to go up and down stairs. They have a set of stairs that has about 5 steps on it. They use this to teach the patients how to go up and down the stairs. He is suppose to go up one step at a time, stop, get his balance, and then go to the next step...but no, he wants to just do one foot on each step and go up and down them like you and I do. They had to tell him to slow down and take his time so that his knees wouldn't buckle and he wouldn't fall.
We need to continue to pray for his blood pressure and bladder. They have given him some medication for his bladder which in turn is causing some issues with his blood pressure. It is all such a fine line to try and keep everything under control.
Thanks everyone for all of the support and prayer!
We are definitely seeing a miracle in progress!
