Bob with Michael (Suzie's son), Shannon and Brandon
Although Bob has not been feeling his best, the physical therapist said that there is no one more motivated and hard working than Bob, even when he's not 100%. Bob continues to be busy with his various therapies. He walked 124 feet last week with a specialized walker. Bob's speech continues to get better. He is also getting better at sitting up, transferring to a wheelchair and standing (all with the help of a nurse or therapist for now).
There is still concern about Bob's blood pressure. He has had problems with it dropping and has been confined to staying in his bed when it is low. Even though the therapists have told Bob he can have the day off on these days, Bob insists on doing the therapies from his bed. Please continue to pray for Bob. We hope that he continues to gain strength, that his blood pressure stays at a consistent and safe level, that he has patience with the speed of his progress and that he feels God's presence surrounding him.
Seems like such a long time ago that Denise and Gary told me Bob had a stroke. And what a wild ride its been since, for Bob, and for all of us who care about the guy. I just wanted to let the Morden clan know how much in awe of them I am for the constant presence they've kept at Bob's bedside since Day One of his ordeal. Thanks for showing us all what faith and love can do...Al
