June 16, 2008--later in the evening

So much happened today. Dad met with a speech therapist, a physical therapist, and an occupational therapist. He spent much of the day out of the bed--this is a meaningful improvement--and even showed a little of his old headstrong self at one point by trying to force his way past Mom and out of the room. Fortunately, my uncles Charles and Craig were nearby to help restrain the old bear.

Thanks to family for visting this evening, and also to Mary Ellison and Lyn Turner. And many thanks as well to Tommy and Kelli who made an incredibly generous number of trips to and fro various points in Raleigh for us.
