Today in PT Papa stood up three times at the parallel bars.

I know you and I walk all the time — we just get up and go, praise God, but for dad, it takes so much effort and energy.

today I saw his doctor, and she’s in her eighties, walking with a cane but still as mobile as ever. Will it be like that with my dad? Will he have to walk with a walker? Will he be able to walk at all?

I have to tell you he is giving it all he’s got. He really had two good stands in him, but he agreed to push himself and do the third one even though he was so tired. Not pushing in the sense of going too far, but I mean he is pushing himself to use the energy he has and even if it’s not perfect by any stretch of the imagination, he’s ready to give what he’s got.

and that’s why I pray that one day, he will just rise up and walk! On his own!!!!! With both legs and both arms working well and in sync. With his core strong. With his mind sharp and his spirit eager!

all in due time ❤️
