A day pass: Dad is heading home for the first time since January 31st. He is excited. He hums Dvorak's "Goin' Home" as we exit the hospital. In some ways, his brain functions quite well.
With my brother, the grandkids, and I around, this is perfect for a test run at home. We figure out nuances of wheelchair access in the home. Nerissa is on hand to give an architect’s expertise on possible renovations.
Dad is keen to push the envelope. When left unattended momentarily, he gets up and walks on his own--frightening but also heartening. He can do it--and he has the will to do it.
