My Dad's Progress

Hello Everybody,
It is with a happy heart that I greet all of you. (at this point it is two) Anyway, my dad is now trying to feed himself and is talking the ears off of the nurses. He has big business deals he needs to complete and he is exhausted from all of the errands he has been running. He is actually back to where he was before Thanksgiving, confused and somewhat healthy. Unfortunately, due to the poor care he received he is too weak to walk and may not gain that back. I am so grateful for his progress and for the skilled care and wisdom of the St. Vincent staff.
I am stunned by the lack of care and concern coming from the nursing home. I have no question in my mind that their lack of care has caused the series of events that we are now living through. It sickens me that some of the most precious members of our society, our aged, are not treated with the care that we would demand. What happens to people in facilities that do not have family that keep a close watch on them. It is my mission to find ways to help these people. The only saving grace to the facility is that they realized that my dad needed to go to the hospital. If they had not moved him to the ER when they did I would be writing about my dad's life instead of his future.
In just a few minutes we are going to see a highly intellectual movie, The Chipmunk Movie. It will be fun to let my brain just enjoy a movie and not have to think so hard. My mom is back at my dad's side, but we are going to try to pull her away for some fun as well. Tune in later for an update on dad.
