Thursday (2-15)

Dad had several visitors at noon today. He was alert and talkative. We found out that he sat in the chair at the foot of his bed for a few hours today. He also walked around for a while (15 feet in his estimation). He told us last night that he never thought it would take so much work to just sit on the end of the bed! If you're going to go visit, you ought to go when Jeremy goes. For some reason, Jeremy does not pay attention to the visiting hours. He goes in at the right time, but he just will not leave! Last night he stayed 20 minutes past; today was 30 minutes. Oh, and he'll sneak you in past the posted hours, too! Word on the street is that he'll be "ambulatory", meaning up walking, eating, etc, by Sunday. We sure hope so!
