Walk Papa Walk

It has been 70 days since my Dad's back surgery. He came home 19 days ago without him being able to do anything for himself. Now he does everything for himself except walk and pulling up his pants. I do physical therapy with him twice everyday. A real physical therapist come out three times a week and occupational therapy come twice a week. He works really hard at all of his exercises! Last week on Friday he stood twice and walked 15 steps. Today he walked 4 times. The first time he took 15 steps. The second time he walked to the end of the hallway, ABOUT 40 STEPS! Then he walked two more times about 20 steps each! He is giving it all he's got. I am so proud of him. Everyone please keep praying for his continued progress and for him to be able to ride in the car comfortable. He really wants to take a trip out to the ranch.

I love the picture! It puts into perspective all the stories I hear from Steph. I am glad he is doing better daily. Wow, what a challenge your dear family has endured. Steph has told me all you personally have been doing...you are a wonderful daughter to him!
