I was able to spend most of Friday visiting my Dad in the hospital delivering homemade cards from an incredible family as well as fresh cut roses from Dad's rose garden. It was a great time together as I read to him all the well wishes and encouraging words you guys have left in the comment section. It all means so much to him (and us)! As have all the phone calls you guys have made to him... he appreciates them so much! We had a great time together on Friday! The next day we both tested positive for COVID > again. Dad had COVID in December of 2020 before the vaccine came out. He has since been vaccinated. I had COVID two months ago (right after visiting my Mom in the hospital). Thankfully both of us have very mild symptoms and are both doing well. On Friday Dad's kidneys were continuing to get worse. I'm thrilled to report that his kidneys began to improve on Saturday and have improved for 3 straight days. His kidney function is almost back to where it was before his heart catherization last Monday. PRAISE! THE! LORD!! Dad truly is the COMEBACK KID! Unfortunately 12 days in the hospital has made him very weak, sleep deprived, and a little confused. He can hardly stand up and can barely walk. On Saturday he was moved to isolation in the hospital (and I'm quarantining at my house). His improvements over the past 3 days translated into being discharged from the hospital earlier this evening and moved to a nearby rehab center for COVID positive patients where Dad will undergo a lot of physical therapy to get him back on his feet and walking again. Thank you all for your prayers and words of encouragement! They are making a big difference and we are forever grateful. Dad will be in rehab for the next week or two. Keep calling him... he loves the phone calls! Thank you everyone!!
