Having a better start to the day - a bit more endurance

The report out of Omaha this morning was encouraging. Dad made it through his morning PT, in addition to having a shower and lunch, all without needing to immediately go for a long nap to recover his strength. He was cognitively "with it" as well, introducing Tracy and Granddaughter Emily to his friends in the dining area.

Tracy was able to get him back to the room and back in bed without assistance. While Dad isn't ready to go for a walk on his own, he's definitely stronger. The nurse even said that he's normally wiped out by noon, so for him to still be going fairly strong after lunch was a good sign.

More this weekend as I get reports from Mom and Tracy, as well as talking to Dad myself.
