Mom and I met with the Admissions Coordinator at the Idaho State Veterans Home located in Pocatello. It was a very informative and encouraging meeting and Mom and I left there feeling like a huge weight had been lifted from our shoulders.

Mom said Dad was better today than she has seen him since the surgery. She spoke with two of the physical therapists and both said Dad did very well at physical therapy. He was able to work much better with the exercises for strengthening his arms and worked very hard at everything they had him do.

This was a very encouraging day and we look forward to Dad making continued progress….even if it is baby steps. I think Mom will get a much better night’s sleep tonight. You could see the relief in her eyes as we were leaving the VA center. It was good to see Mom a little relaxed for a change!
