Dad's stay at the hospital was pretty good. He even loved the food (after we got the no chicken or turkey stipulation in). He had visitors nearly every hour. Brad went in for breakfast several times, Janice and I and Brad were there during the day and night. Ted popped in once also after he got back from Vegas.
He had daily physical therapy and occupational therapy (where they teach him how to do every day things like eat, brush his teeth, etc). He started to look better as far as his color, became able to stay awake for longer periods of time, and had pretty good conversations with us as we visited. We got many many calls from Dad's sisters and relatives and friends. We let him know about every single call and he seemed very glad to hear that everyone was concerned and pulling for him back home.
On Friday, the 27th, the doctor from the acute Physical Therapy Unit at UVRMC evaluated Dad and recommended we put him into that program at the hospital. Their program is much more rigorous and concentrated for strokes and people with nerve or other brain damage. We were excited about this and hoping we'd see some faster progress there.
