Tonight's picture was taken in February of 2009. I absolutely LOVE this photo and can remember it as if it were yesterday. Mattie was getting admitted to the hospital and his art therapist came to greet us. In front of us, which you can't see, was a ramp. Mattie literally wanted use to push him down the ramp, like a rollercoaster. There was NO way I was going to do that, but Jenny and I instead ran while pushing his chair down the ramp. You can see the hospital employee behind us smiling and laughing over this scene.
Quote of the day: Today's coronavirus update from Johns Hopkins.
- Number of people diagnosed with the virus: 78,790,210
- Number of people who died from the virus: 944,588
It was another early morning! My dad's physical therapist was coming at 10am. Therefore, that means I have to get up early to pull it all together. The therapist was coming to reassess my dad to get recertified to provide more sessions. In order to get qualified for more sessions, Medicare needs to see that progress has been made. Otherwise they see no reason to justify more services! So Fred (the physical therapist) pulled out my dad's data from his assessment in the beginning of February.
In comparison to early February, my dad appears to be doing better in terms of standing up and sitting down, walking, and balancing. All good news and it shows that my daily prodding is having an effect. Despite the fact that he hates doing any kind of movement.
I think the home healthcare company thinks I am scared to take my dad outside of the house! REALLY??? I moved him from Los Angeles for heaven's sake, which meant daily movement and even staying at a hotel. Not to mention I take him to doctor appointments and out to lunch. So fear shouldn't even be used in the same sentence as me!
