first week after dad's heart surgery

 Brandon and Rachel and their kids came to visit with us for the week... they really helped cheer up my mom and dad. Mom is doing a little better this week, as the neurologist increased one of her medications for her neuralgia pain.  Dad has been walking more and more each day and even started walking up and down the stairs by Friday and Saturday.   


Asher and Charlie and Haley Grace enjoyed the spaghetti for supper! 

 Brandon encouraged dad to tackle the staircase on Friday. He did really good but woke up in the middle of the night with leg pains.  He walked half way up today!
