I have not been keeping all of you up to date on Dad’s progress. We were all just so happy to have him home. He and I haven’t found a good way for him to pick me up because he needs both hands on his walker. I do like to walk in front of him to help guide him as he walks from one end of our house to the other. He keeps telling me to move. I think that having him talking while he is walking is a good part of his therapy.

They made 2 trips to doctors over the last two days. Dad was really really tired from Monday and wanted to sleep most of yesterday even at the doctor’s office. Yesterday afternoon Mom had to wake Dad up when his Occupational Therapist came to see him. I met her before he did. She seemed really nice, and even took time to pet both Miko and me. I gave Dad lots of kisses to help him wake up. Once he did, the nice lady, Dad, and Mom all collected in the hallway bathroom. I sat on the counter by my food bowl to watch as they had Dad step into the shower, sit on the bench there, and then step back out. Mom seemed happy that they had a plan.

This morning Dad walked to that bathroom where Mom helped him undress and get in to take a shower. He seems really happy and now smells more like my Dad. This is progress. I’ll bet I get to snuggle close when he takes his afternoon nap. I love him so much. I wish I could do more to help him. I told Miko that she needs to also snuggle close to him and purr. She does that so well.
