Mom and I (Jocelyn) just arrived up to see Dad this morning. When we walked into his room he was lying in his bed with his knees up sleeping. I giggled, making him wake up and smile at us for being here. Late last night Alyssa finished making a scrap book of Dad's life thus far just for him to have and look at when/if he's feeling lonely. He sat up in bed all by himself, looking at the book he smiled and laughed to himself thinking of all the fun memories he has had. It was about that time that Mom and I noticed that his pants were inside out! When asked about it he didn't know what we were talking about. We all laughed over it and Dad later told us that he dressed himself and hadn't realized his pants were inside-out, even after going to all his scheduled lessons no one told him about his pants. I think they were just trying to be nice and not embarrass him. At least he can laugh about it now.
He is doing so much better already. He gets up in the morning dresses himself, brushes his teeth, walks (by himself) to breakfast, goes to the various lessons he has that day, takes a nap in between, and ends the day with a little relaxation of watching T.V..
We are all so very proud of him and all the work he is doing to get back to his old self. a
Oooh, I wonder what he's eating for breakfast. Jackie looooves the cafeteria food at the U hospital, if she has time she usually walks over from Primary's on her breaks. And sometimes she goes on her days off, but she's weird like that. Tell him to make sure to eat lunch before two, apparently the deliciousness of the food drops off quite abruptly after that.
ReplyDeleteIt's so good to hear how well things are going! I miss you guys, you're all constantly in my thoughts and prayers.

LOL! So was it sweatpants with just a seam showing that they were inside out, or dockers with big white pockets showing? :)
