Update on Deb's Dad

My Dad is getting better each day. His hand and arm have improved some but have a ways to go. Right now he still isn't able to use his right hand for much. Today the OT person taught him how to use an adaptive strap on his hand to hold a spoon or toothbrush. It isn't easy when your hand has no fine motor skills. If his blood levels are good tomorrow, he will move to the Wake Med Rehab Hospital. He will be doing physical and occupational therapy for at least 3 hours each day. He will be learning to feed himself and other personal care all over again. They'll also work on rebuilding his overall strength. Right now, walking farther than to the bathroom is an adventure. We're not sure how long he'll need to stay there. Hopefully, long enough!! Thanks everyone for your kind words, prayers and support. They mean so much more than Gary, my Mom and I can say. Love to you all.
Deb
