Today, therapy-wise, Papa rocked it. He endured intense pain during the stretching exercises of his shoulder, arm, and hand. He was able to briefly sit up straight with both hands resting comfortably on his knees.

During speech therapy, he organized world history events in the correct chronological order, which is amazing because when we started here, he could not name the picture of scissors. He also talked about his immigration experience and how it was affected by the dissolution of the former Soviet Union.

I praise God for how our father is progressing despite everything he is going through. I celebrate him today! I PRAISE God for giving him the strength to endure, and I am so grateful that my dad is using that strength to be the best version of himself every day, not perfect but trying his best. I praise God for His provision, and for how He is CARRYING us through this challenging time!!!!!
