E-Mail Update from Melany:
Well another week has gone by…..Pops continues to improve daily. He is looking great! He has lost about 40 lbs over this last 6 weeks. He is excited and said that he would really like to lose another 40 lbs. He is being careful what he eats and if he is offered some kind of dessert he says “I really don’t think I should have that”.
We went out for a little shopping last night at Sam’s Club. He decided to come along with us. Dante pushed him in his wheel chair up and down the isles….I am not sure who had more fun, Dante or grandpa :o) He did really well being out but after about 2 hours he figured it was time to be back home. He still gets very tired easy and can’t stay out too long. Of course most of the medications he is on for his blood pressure and bladder say…caution…may cause drowsiness. No wonder the guy is SO tired!
It is great to see his physical strength come back so quickly. Now we need to be praying for his long term and short term memory. The doctors have said that when someone has a brain injury of this extent that it can take quite some time to fully recover. We are hoping and praying for that miracle to happen sooner than later.
Thank you all again for all of your thoughts, prayers, and support that everyone has shown to pops and our entire family. Sometimes it is amazing to see how something tragic can bring everyone together….I have really seen this happen in this situation.
Happy Friday and I hope everyone that reads this has a very blessed weekend!
