Rehab/Dr. McNeilly/Father's Day

I can tell James is feeling a little better. Twice during the night, he managed to get out of bed by himself....WITHOUT PUTTING THE SIDERAILS DOWN, which are supposed to keep him in. He is getting around very well, but is still somewhat confused. So, getting up by himself is not such a good idea - it's hard to tell where we might find him.

The rehab nurse came to see him today. When she asked him where he was, he said a hospital in Illinois. When asked what he ate for lunch, he said that he had given it away (which is not true). BUT, when asked who called him today, he promptly said Dr. McNeilly - that was the right answer. I was surprised that he remembered, it had been several hours since the call. Thank you, Dr. McNeilly, for calling...you have made a difference.




He has asked me several times today when he will get out - so I think he's getting anxious. If all goes well, I believe it will be tomorrow.

James wishes he were home to tell Dad "Happy Father's Day." So, he thought he'd send a message with a picture.
