Dad passed his swallow eval today and is able to drink whatever he wants. I stayed with him during his physical therapy session and he did great. One area he needs a lot of work in is balance. They did several different activities that will help improve his levels. He does pretty good until they ask him to close his eyes and do things. But I told him I would have trouble myself at some of the things he's working on. He is still convinced he has a cabin cruiser boat and makes us laugh at some of the crazy stories he tells us. He knows all of you ask about him and is looking forward to being able to return to the gym. He told me the only thing he is happy about is the weight loss. He still has his great sense of humor and picks on everyone down there. As always Dad is leaving his stamp on everyone's heart.
