My father took his last breath at 1:07 on August 17th. He went peacefully and pain free with us by his side.

Every time I ask my dad how he is doing... he replies with OK. We have also managed to understand a few swears out of my dad's whispers, so he's definitely getting better. He gets physical, occupational and speech therapy at the house and they have all been pleased with his progress and are excited to keep working with him. He's making more facial expressions and trying harder to communicate with us. His expressions are priceless and haven't changed a bit.

Jan has been home for a week now and he has been getting stronger everyday. It was a great weekend for him... Saturday afternoon his cousin Bobby Wald came to visit with my uncle Ronnie, while my dad relaxed in his new recliner. Yesterday his cousins Jack and Diane from California, Ronnie and Wendy came over to visit and my dad got pretty excited about that. Although we are still waiting for him to get his voice back his smile says it all.
