Montreat

Last week Mom and Dad spent the six days at Chapman House in Montreat along with Aunt Joyce, Aunt Jean, and Uncle George. My cousin Lynn and her husband Mark drove up from Atlanta for a few days as well. Reports are that everyone had a great time. This is the first extended trip Dad has taken since having the stroke.

I'm back in Pine Ridge for another short weekend visit, and Dad is doing very well. He was fitted a few days ago with a C-PAP, which is a breathing device for people who suffer from sleep apnia. It's definitely taking some getting used to. He's had a couple good nights and woken up feeling very rested, and a couple other nights of little sleep and much tossing and turning.

Otherwise things haven't changed much since my last post. Dad's outpatient therapy continues to go well, and he's started seeing a physical therapist/ trainer in Nashville to build his strength. Mom is carrying on, as usual.

Mom and Dad are going back to Asheville for a few days in a couple weeks, and then they're coming out to Rhode Island for a week at Thanksgiving.
