Dad rested last night from about 11:45 to 3:30 this morning. When he woke up, he was wide awake sitting up more in the bed than I have seen him in a very long time. He was ready to get up as in in the wheelchair and really "get up". I cannot imagine not being able to move around and get up when I wanted to do so.
Once we got situated and set up, at about 3:45 this morning, I fixed Dad not one but two pieces of white toast with orange marmalade. He at all but about 3 teeny tiny bites that he fed to Laddie (the doggie). Last night when Mom made him toast Aunt Pam busted him feeding it to the dogs............ Pam said "Michael!!" Dad said " But they like it". Pam said "that is supposed to be for YOU!". Funny!!!! He also had some milk. I've been awake with him since he woke up. Mom was only up for about 20 minutes at 3:30.......... Dad said "Shannon" and she got up very quickly. Poor mom, but she was sweet about it. Dad was impressed with how quickly she woke up. I too have been awake since 3:30 this morning but for some reason am not tired. I think I am just enjoying time with Dad and just visiting.
It is now almost 7:30 and Dad is still sitting up pretty much in the bed...... we've got a fresh shirt on........... he's having some coffee and watching the news and making sure that Mom gets out ready for work..........
Must go check on the status of things, and get back
Lauren and Jill are up.. having their coffee fix (necessity)
they need to get to working on work work and school work..
