This morning I went to visit Grandpa. It was good to see him up and in a chair. He also took about 10 steps today. It completely exhausted him, but he was able to do it.

I had lunch with Middle Sister and her kids. Niece L decided that she wanted to be an ICU nurse after spending the day with Grandpa yesterday. Apparently there was a nurse there named Wendy who impacted a little girl in a way she will probably never know.

Grandpa is doing swallowing and voice exercises that make him sound like he is in choir practice. The kids got a big laugh out of participating with him in the voice exercises. The nurses got a kick out of it, too. When the nurses changed shifts the nurse leaving said "your dad is such a sweet man".

Praises for continued improvements in Grandpa.

Praises for family being able to travel to visit him.

Praises for respite care and a good nights sleep!
