Update on my Dad

 Last week at this time I shared with you that my Dad had been admitted to the Critical Care Unit of the hospital.  He had just turned 91 and we really thought he wasn't going to make it.
He had lots of people praying for him and had an amazing turn around.
By Friday, they were ready to discharge him.  However, in the middle of this, my stepmom was diagnosed with Covid!
She wasn't very sick, but we didn't want Dad exposed and we didn't think it was a good idea for 2 sick people in their 90's to be hanging out together!
So, Dad was discharged on Friday, but he came to our house.  My sister Terri went to pick him up in the afternoon, and my work place let me out early so I could pick up his prescriptions and be home when they got here.
Our first night went well and Dad slept until after 9 on Saturday. He's usually an early riser, but as you know, no one gets much sleep in the hospital and it was good to catch up.

Saturday at lunch time we had some visitors.  Laura and Aaron stopped with Alaina and Ruby.  They brought some lunch for him and the girls made some pictures which he really liked.

Later in the afternoon, Heather and Andrew came with Cassie.

Isn't this the sweetest picture?  It's amazing to see him well enough to hold Cassie and read to her.  She didn't stay there long, but we were glad she let him hold her.

My sister Cheri brought over some soup and bread for supper, which we all enjoyed.

We had a nice evening, talking about some of Dad's adventures when he was younger.  It's always fun hearing those stories.

On Sunday, I skipped Sunday School but did go to church as Dad was pretty self sufficient.
And in the afternoon, we brought him home!  Ann's quarantine was going to be done after Sunday and she was feeling good.  Dad was also feeling good and talking about going along to bowling next week, even if he didn't bowl.  And, they missed each other...

Ann was sitting outside when we arrived.  Here's the homecoming greeting.

We got everything put away and let them sit outside and enjoy the sunshine.
I talked to him Sunday evening and he said everything was going well.
Dad has a nurse coming to check in on him for a few weeks, and I'll be taking him to his heart doctor on Tuesday.

Thanks to those of you who checked in on him and for praying too!
