My Dad is still in a rehab facility.

We're grateful beyond words that it's a fabulous facility with really good care. But it's not home. With the latest prognosis...we're very close to making the call to bring him home. My sister lives there with my Mom...and that will help. We'll also get a nurse in there a few times each week.

Hang in there, '100 - -
