Today, Papa practiced his full morning routine and also walked with the help of the physical therapist holding up his left side. I can’t begin to explain how awesome it is that he is moving his left leg. That’s your prayers at work right there!

The therapists are teaching me a lot. Very grateful to them. At the same time, I was open and honest with them that I definitely need a few more weeks of practice before I feel comfortable transitioning Papa from the bed to the chair and back again completely on my own. I hope the team gives us an opportunity to continue improving in the next few weeks!!!

Everyone in the family has to stretch and learn and grow into this moment. Most of all Papa of course but really all of us, if I am honest. We have to be open and honest and patient with each other to make this work long term 🩷
