Last week while we were visiting dad at White Oak Estates rehab, the head therapist brought her greyhound to visit all the residents.  Dad really enjoyed this visit! 
Happy to report that Dad came home from rehab on Thursday morning.  He had been there about 5 weeks since his knee replacement surgery. God is so good!

Video - Dad sings at White Oak Estates Rehab Center



A week before he went home from rehab, Dad was singing for his supper:) With mom playing, Dad would sing for the residents as they all waited for supper to be served. I recorded this short video from last Saturday afternoon. He sang about 20 minutes, until his voice wore out. What a blessing to minister to others while you are in rehab yourself!(and he had a little help from a resident this time)
